TNM Super League Week 7 Preview: Top Clash Tests Title Chasers, Relegation Scrap Intensifies
As the 2025 TNM Super League rolls into Week 7, the pressure intensifies across the table. League leaders FCB Nyasa Big Bullets seek to extend their flawless form, while teams like Chitipa United, Creck SC, and Kamuzu Barracks face critical fixtures that could define their trajectories. Here’s what to expect in this pivotal round of matches.
🔵 Kamuzu Barracks vs Ekhaya FC
📍 Champion Stadium | Saturday, 17 May | 2:30 PM
Ekhaya FC, currently third with 9 points from four matches, will be tested by a gritty Kamuzu Barracks side aiming to climb into the top half. Ekhaya’s strength lies in their defense — only two goals conceded so far — and their effective counter-attacks have made them a tricky opponent away from home.
Kamuzu Barracks, unbeaten at home, will aim to leverage their physical style and crowd support to unsettle Ekhaya’s rhythm. However, inconsistency in finishing could haunt them if not addressed.
This tactical battle will pit Kamuzu’s aggressive pressing and set-piece threat against Ekhaya’s compact defense and swift transitions. A win for either side could significantly shift their season trajectory.
🔴 FCB Nyasa Big Bullets vs Chitipa United
📍 Kamuzu Stadium | Sunday, 18 May | 2:30 PM
Top-of-the-table FCB Nyasa Big Bullets (12 points) host a struggling Chitipa United (5 points) in what many predict to be a one-sided encounter. Bullets have scored 13 goals in 4 matches and boast a +12 goal difference, with Hassan Kajoke and Babatunde Adepoju in red-hot form.
Chitipa United, winless in three games, face a daunting task. Defensive frailties and inconsistent performances make them heavy underdogs at Kamuzu Stadium, where Bullets are nearly invincible.
For Bullets, this match offers a chance to maintain their five-point lead and potentially extend it. For Chitipa, even a draw would be considered a major success in their fight for survival.
🔵 Creck SC vs Mighty Wanderers
📍 Champion Stadium | Sunday, 18 May | 2:30 PM
Second-placed Mighty Wanderers (9 points) face lowly Creck SC (4 points) in a match that could either consolidate their title push or open the door for rivals. Wanderers have found form offensively, netting 8 goals in their last three outings. Their attacking trio has been a nightmare for defenses, thriving in space and using clever movement.
Creck SC, with 8 goals conceded in 5 games, have one of the weakest backlines in the league. To stand a chance, they must stay compact and avoid giving Wanderers time on the ball, especially on the flanks.
Wanderers must guard against complacency. With Big Bullets in top form, any slip-up could be costly in the title race.
⚪ Premier Bet Dedza Dynamos vs Karonga United
📍 Dedza Stadium | Sunday, 18 May | 2:30 PM
This mid-table clash sees two evenly matched teams, each on 6 points and hungry for momentum. Dedza Dynamos return home seeking their third win of the season, relying on creative midfield play and quick combinations to break through Karonga United’s formidable defense.
Karonga have conceded just once in three games, thanks to a disciplined and well-drilled backline. They sit deep and absorb pressure before launching quick counters — a strategy that has frustrated more attacking teams.
Expect a tactical battle with few goals. A draw is likely, but either side could nick it with a flash of brilliance.
💬 Final Thoughts
Week 7 presents a crucial checkpoint in the TNM Super League season. The title race could tighten or stretch further, while the relegation battle grows fiercer with each passing round. All eyes will be on Bullets and Wanderers to see if they can maintain their early dominance, while teams like Creck and Chitipa fight to avoid being left behind.
