Moyale Barracks are coming from drubbing 3-1 defeat to the league leaders, FCB Nyasa Big Bullets while Mighty Mukuru Wanderers are coming from a 1-all stalemate against Mighty Waka Waka Tigers in a controversial match.

Mwansa said they know that the Nomads who are yet to state a defeat this season will come hard on them as they will be seeking a a win to reclaim the top spot.

“We are at home, we will try everything[in our capacity] to win the game,” said Mwansa.

Last season the two teams shared three points each as Wanderers won at Mzuzu Stadium while Moyale Barracks won at Kamuzu Stadium.

Wanderers have a chance to make it 16 wins over the Soldiers while the Lions of Kaning’ina could make it 14 wins over Wanderers. 13 meeting have been ending in stalemate between the two sides since 2008.

“We have been training well and the players are performing well during our training sessions. We are coming from a loss in Blantyre and we playing against Mighty Mukuru Wanderers, really a tough game. We are ready for the game and the players are responding well to our training sessions.

“We will try as much as possible to win the game because these three points are very important to Moyale FC. We will try as much as possible to control the game.

“If the players maintain the way they are training, it will be easy for us to win the game,” said Mwansa.

Mighty Mukuru Wanderers Head Coach, Mark Simon Harrison said he is worried with the condition of the pitch saying it is unplayable.

“It is going to be a tough game, looking at the field now, it’s unplayable, it’s not gonna be an easy game. The field is not conducive for any football, it is going to a battle hopefully, we come out on top, score goals and keep the cleansheet and get three points.

“The field should not be allowed to be used [for] Super League matches,” said the Coach.

The tactician also revealed that Vincent Nyangulu is put injured while Isaac Kaliati is not 100% fit for the game.

“Alfred Manyozo Jr is back and he will be on the bench. We will not play our style, we need to change the style of play to suit the condition of the pitch, ” he added.

Mighty Mukuru Wanderers are 3rd on the table, 3 points adrift their sworn rivals, FCB Nyasa Big Bullets who beat Bangwe All Stars on Friday at Mpira Stadium.
