Tigers are coming from a disappointing trip away from the north where they lost 3-2 to Chitipa United at Chitipa Ground on Wednesday afternoon. Though Hammers collected maximum points over Mighty Wanderers following a 2-1 victory at home, they are in prayers.

Huge challenge is where they are going, fixtures remaining ahead of them are so tricky to pull results. Tigers have to collect maximum points over Ekhaya FC at Mpira Stadium, Blue Eagles at Nankhaka and FCB Nyasa Big Bullets at Kamuzu Stadium. Can they collect 9 points?

Then to Hammers, yes they hammered Wanderers but they have to face Chitipa United in Chitipa, Bullets at Kamuzu Stadium then Silver Strikers at Silver Stadium, will it be possible to get all points in order to avoid relegation?

Tigers squandered a 2-0 lead, with Dan Shadreck scoring a brace for the hosts, who came back to secure maximum points thanks to goals from Mally Kasongo and Zenga Manda.

The result means the Kau Kau boys are second from the bottom with 26 points and have three matches remaining to wrap up the season—giving them a maximum potential of 35 points.

Should they win their remaining games, they will need either Mafco or Goshen City Dedza Dynamos, both of whom have two matches left and each has 31 points, to drop about four points to ensure their safety.

Tigers’ head coach, Trevor Kajawa, accepted the defeat, acknowledging that they let the victory slip away.

“We have to sit down and figure out how to handle the remaining games,” he said.

Above Tigers there is Mzuzu City Hammers with 27 from 27 games and they sit on position 14 while Dedza is on position 13 with 31 points from 28 games same with Mafco FC on position 12. Songwe Border United already were relegated, they have 6 points from 27 games.
