🔵 Blue Eagles vs Creck Sporting Club – Nankhaka Stadium, Lilongwe
After a dominant 4-0 home win over Songwe Border, Blue Eagles return to Nankhaka Stadium full of confidence. Gerald Phiri’s side currently sit 4th on the table with 4 points, and will again look to star forward Micium Mhone, who dazzled in Week 2.
Creck Sporting Club, sitting 15th after two straight defeats, are still adjusting to life in the top flight. Coach Dickson Mbeta will need a strong defensive performance to withstand the Eagles’ attacking power in Lilongwe.
🔴 Mafco FC vs Kamuzu Barracks – Chitowe Stadium
Both sides come into this matchup on the back of defeats. Mafco FC, under Stereo Gondwe, were edged out by Karonga United, while Kamuzu Barracks lost 2-0 to Moyale. With 3 points apiece, this fixture could be pivotal in deciding which side keeps pace with the early front-runners.

⚪ FCB Nyasa Big Bullets vs Songwe Border – Kamuzu Stadium
League leaders FCB Nyasa Big Bullets are flying high with two wins from two. Their 4-1 thrashing of Creck was a statement of intent, with Babatunde Adepoju, Lanjesi Nkhoma, and Chikuh Salima (Man of the Match) leading the charge. Kalisto Pasuwa’s men are top of the table and firm favourites at home.
Songwe Border remain winless, conceding four goals last week, and must produce something special at Kamuzu Stadium to take anything from this clash.

🟢 Chitipa United vs Ekhaya FC – Karonga Stadium
A thrilling matchup awaits as undefeated Chitipa United welcome high-flying newcomers Ekhaya FC. Coach-player Andrew Haaland Joseph led from the front last weekend and will aim to inspire again.
Ekhaya FC, managed by Smart Mbewe, have won both of their opening matches and sit second with 6 points. After edging Civil Service United 1-0 last time out, thanks to a Wongani Kaponya goal and an inspired midfield shift from Innocent Msowoya, they will aim to continue their dream start.
🟠 Mighty Tigers vs Dedza Dynamos – Kamuzu Stadium
Still searching for a win, Mighty Tigers showed grit in their 3-2 loss to Wanderers, with goals from Harrison Kapata and Grayson Msowoya proving their attacking threat. Coach Trevor Kajawa will hope for better defensive stability this time.
Dedza Dynamos, who lost late to Mzuzu City Hammers, will need to regroup quickly. Coach Dan Dzinkambani’s side are aiming to find consistency early in the campaign.
Conclusion
