Ekhaya FC welcome Blue Eagles to Kamuzu Stadium this afternoon for what promises to be an exciting TNM Super League of Malawi encounter.
The visitors arrive in Blantyre sitting 7th on the table with 28 points from 21 games, while The Cowboys occupy 6th position with 32 points, holding a game in hand over the Eagles.
Blue Eagles have endured a rough spell, managing just one win in their last eight outings, and coming into this tie on the back of two consecutive 3-1 defeats against Civo United and Mighty Wanderers.
Meanwhile, after a slow start to the second round, Ekhaya FC have rediscovered their rhythm, recording back-to-back victories that have reignited their push for a strong finish.
Another three points today would see The Cowboys close the gap on Karonga United and Civil United, both in the race for a coveted top-four spot.
