FCB Nyasa Big Bullets\u2019 unbeaten record in the FDH Bank Premiership faces a stern test as they meet Blue Eagles at Civo Stadium in Lilongwe this afternoon.<\/p>\n
So far, Bullets and Red Lions are the only unbeaten teams in the 2026 FDH Bank Premiership after four matches.<\/p>\n
Bullets go into the match looking to bounce back to winning ways after a frustrating goal-less stalemate against Lions at Joyce Chitsulo Stadium in Mwanza District last week.<\/p>\n
On the other hand, Eagles are full of confidence and want to build on their back-to-back wins over Silver Strikers (1-0) and Goshen City Dedza Dynamos (2-0) as they host Bullets.<\/p>\n
Currently, Eagles are second on the log table with nine points from four matches whereas Bullets are fourth with eight points from four matches.<\/p>\n

Both Eagles and Bullets have a chance to go top of the log table this afternoon as current leaders Silver will be in action against defending champions Mighty Wanderers at Zomba Stadium tomorrow.<\/p>\n
Eagles collected four points over Bullets last season after beating them 1-0 at Kamuzu Stadium before a goal-less stalemate at Nankhaka Stadium in Lilongwe in the second round.<\/p>\n
However, since 2015 Eagles have won four matches, seven losses and seven draws in 18 matches against Bullets.<\/p>\n
Speaking ahead of the match, Bullets coach Gilbert Chirwa said his charges are looking for all the points in today\u2019s match.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a 50-50 affair. There is no advantage, we know Blue Eagles are a good team but we are not scared of playing them so we are ready to fight for the points,\u201d Chirwa said.<\/p>\n
Bullets will be without Maxwell Gasten Phodo, who is still serving a two-game suspension following a red card he received in a Blantyre derby 2-1 win over Wanderers at Bingu National Stadium in Lilongwe three weeks ago.<\/p>\n
Eagles coach Deklerk Msakakuona said he believes his charges are ready for the clash after playing friendly matches in the Lower Shire.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe expect a tough game but we are ready for them. We know Bullets are a good team so we have to raise our game to match them,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
In other matches today, Kamuzu Barracks and Ekhaya will lock horns at Champion Stadium in Mponela, Dowa District this afternoon.<\/p>\n
Both KB and Ekhaya will go into the match with confidence after registering their first wins last weekend.<\/p>\n
KB beat Creck Sporting Club 3-1 whereas Ekhaya defeated Moyale Barracks 2-0.<\/p>\n
Red Lions will host Luanar Mitundu FC at Zomba Stadium whereas Moyale will face Creck at Rumphi Stadium.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
