Nyasa Big Bullets have always tended to enjoy facing MAFCO FC. And the fans can probably expect a high-scoring game, with this fixture having historically produced an average of more than two goals per match. NBB entertains MAFCO FC on Saturday (kick-off 14:30hrs).
First-placed Nyasa Big Bullets and 14th-placed MAFCO Football Club are preparing for their first meeting this season. Bullets can practically boost their hope of defending the championship, while struggled MAFCO are 1 point away from safety.
Since losing 2-0 in TNM Super League in 2013, Nyasa Big Bullets have not lost any of their last 12 super league meetings with MAFCO FC and have taken 24 points out of a possible 36 during that run (W6 D6).
The Red & Whites have won those 12 games by a combined goal difference of 14-7.
BB has also fared very well on home turf, having lost just one of their past 8 seasons.
Bullets have lost points in their last week's draw (1 all to Blue Eagles) and have won three games from four outings. The soldiers have lost two and drew two of the last four matches in which they correct 2 points from a possible twelve.
