FCB Nyasa Big Bullets and Mzuzu City Hammers will be looking for redemption when they face off in a TNM Super League match at Rumphi Stadium this afternoon.
Both teams limp into the match wounded.
Bullets are still licking their wounds following a 1-0 loss to Blue Eagles at Kamuzu Stadium in Blantyre on Sunday.
This was their second consecutive defeat in the TNM Super League after suffering a 2-1 loss to Civil Service United at Civo Stadium in Lilongwe.

Currently, Bullets are second on the 16-member log table with 27 points from 12 matches, six points behind leaders Wanderers, who have played 13 matches.
On the other hand, Hammers have been a pale shadow of themselves this season, having lost eight matches.
They go into the match against Bullets looking for their third win of the campaign. They have lost three consecutive matches against Creck Sporting, Mighty Tigers and Wanderers by 1-0 margins.
The two teams played out to a goal-less stalemate in the second round at Mzuzu Stadium in October last year.

However, Bullets beat Hammers 2-0 in the first round at Kamuzu Stadium.
Bullets go into the match with a score to settle against Hammers, having lost 4-1 on post-match penalties in the Castel Challenge Cup semi-finals at Kamuzu Stadium.
Bullets coach Peter Mponda would be looking for a positive response from his boys this afternoon.
“We need to go back and quickly react to the painful defeat to Eagles,” Mponda said.
Hammers coach Elias Chirambo believes the match against Bullets could be their turning point this season.
“We have to go into the match with the right attitude,” he said.
Hammers are second from the bottom, with eight points from 12 matches.
