Malawi’s are in Tanzania for what seems mission impossible against Simba in a CAF Champions League preliminary round second leg match on Sunday afternoon.
go into the match at the Benjamin Mkapa Stadium with all odds staked against them after having lost 2-0 to the Tanzanians in the first-leg in Lilongwe last weekend.
The Malawi champions need to find a way of scoring two goals to bring the game level and drag it into extra-time.
CAN BULLETS PULL IT OFF?
It is a tough ask for but coach Kalisto Pasuwa believes nothing is cast in stone in football.
The Zimbabwean insists Bullets did not lose because they were sloppy at home.
But rather they did not make use of their moments and chances.
“It’s a game that we played first-half and we came here to play the second half.
“This game is a game of mistakes, we made mistakes in Lilongwe and we got punished,” the former Warriors coach said.
“We learnt our lessons and now we will try to be careful in terms of how we handle the ball.
“In football, anything can happen, we have seen other teams even scoring 10 goals.
“So we come here with a positive mind that we can also score two or three goals.”
BULLETS MISSING TWO KEY PLAYERS
have a near full strength squad save for seasoned left-back Yamikani Fodya and striker Lanjesi Nkhoma who are injured after clashing heads accidentally.
Simba are a near invincible side especially when they are playing at home.
So Bullets have their backs to the wall.
The Tanzanians have more depth in their squad.
They have veteran striker John Bocco, who scored in Lilongwe, former Bullets star Peter Banda and Senegalese Pape Sakho.
Coastal Union coach Juma Mgunda is in charge of Simba in the absence of a CAF licenced full-time coach.
