Two local clubs and two clubs from outside the country.<\/p>\n<p>The bonanza, hosted by Bullets, will see The Peoples Team facing competition from local rivals Mighty Mukuru Wanderers and Unia\u0303o Desportiva do Songo and Clube Ferrovia\u0301rio de Nampula of Mozambique.<\/p>\n<p>How the participating teams fared in previous league campaigns in their country The main hosts, FCB Nyasa Big Bullets, are off the back of their 16th league championship triumph while their TNM Super League fellow, Mighty Mukuru Wanderers finished third in the 2022 standings.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, we also have a third finisher and a league title winner of the previous season in the two visiting Mozambican sides. With 50 points from 22 games, UD Songo won the Mozambican top-flight league Moc\u0327ambola in 2022. That is ten points above Ferrovia\u0301rio de Nampula, a side that finished in third position.<\/p>\n<p>King Lau, the Mozambican champions, who won a third championship in five years last season, remain unchanged. Meeting just after winning the latest championship in their countries, Bullets and Songo will answer the question of greatness and most likely present a classic match of its own.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/malawi\">Malawi<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Malawi.
