MATCH PREVIEW: Mighty Wanderers v Ekhaya FC
Ekhaya FC make the short cross-city trip this Sunday for a TNM Super League of Malawi encounter against Mighty Wanderers at the Kamuzu Stadium.
With both sides targeting strong finishes to their league campaigns, the atmosphere under the Kamuzu Stadium sun is expected to be electric.
The Story So Far
Both clubs return from testing northern assignments, but their paths home could not feel more different.
The Nomads, currently second with 56 points, saw their title momentum slowed after managing only a draw in their match against Chitipa United before falling to Mzuzu City Hammers.
That defeat tightened the top of the table and leaves Wanderers needing a response to keep their championship hopes alive.
Ekhaya FC, fifth on 39 points, picked up a confidence-boosting victory over Karonga United before falling narrowly to Moyale Barracks.
With a top-four finish still within reach in their debut top-flight season, the Cowboys approach the derby with ambition and belief.
Last Time We Met
Meetings between these sides have been tight this season:
The first encounter was settled by a moment of brilliance, Guard Chirwa’s long-range strike separating the two teams.
The reverse fixture ended prematurely at 0–0 before being abandoned.
With fine margins defining the fixture so far, Sunday’s derby is set for another fiercely contested battle.
