Only a few games have been played in the Super League so far, with Silver Strikers placed 6th and Karonga United sitting in the 8th position.
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
Silver Strikers form and stats
The hosts won their first Super League game here at Silver Stadium, lifting spirits. Home statistics for Silver Strikers last season were 9 wins, 4 draws and 2 losses from 15 games.
A nice win for Strikers last time playing, versus Kamuzu Barracks. That was also a home game and the match ended 5-1. Preceding that game was the away draw at Be Forward Wanderers that finished 0-0.
As mentioned above, Silver Strikers "killed" Kamuzu Barracks in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.
Early season league goal statistics from Silver Strikers's 1 home game: 5 goals, 1 conceded.
Karonga United form and stats
Impressive finishing secured the home win 1-0 against Big Bullets in their previous game. Ahead of that game was the 1-1 draw at home against Chitipa United.
The schedule is very tough for Karonga now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Super League game at Blue eagles Malawi is waiting in only one day.
Head 2 Head
Head-to-head totals (for the last four meetings): Strikers won three games, one match ended with a draw and Karonga United has zero wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: four / zeroSilver Strikers missing players
