Ekhaya FC face Moyale Barracks at the Mzuzu Stadium on Thursday afternoon, a in a crucial TNM Super League of Malawi encounter carrying weight at both ends of the table.
The Hosts: Fighting for Survival
Moyale Barracks sit 13th on the log with 30 points, just three above the relegation zone, making every fixture a potential decider in their survival battle.
Despite their precarious league position, the Lions of Kaning’ina have been showing real fight lately.
They have picked up three wins, one draw and one loss from their last five matches, a solid run that has kept them afloat.
Even more impressive is their unbeaten home streak, which adds an extra layer of challenge for visiting teams.
The military outfit will be eager to bounce back from their last outing, where they suffered a 3-0 defeat to Silver Strikers, and they’ll rely heavily on home support to respond strongly.
The Cowboys: Chasing the Top Four
For Ekhaya FC, the mission is clear: keep pushing upward.
The Cowboys come into this encounter with back-to-back victories, including a hard-fought 1-0 win over Karonga United in their previous match.
Confidence is rising within the camp, but there is also unfinished business. Ekhaya have not won three matches in a row this season, and Thursday offers a perfect chance to break that jinx.
With the top four within touching distance, the boys know the margins are tight and every point counts, especially on the road where conditions are always different and demanding.
