Tigers will be hoping to move out of the relegation zone as they have 13 points from 14 matches.
On his part, Tigers Coach Christopher Nyambose said the game against Bullets could be the turning point for his boys.
At Mzuzu Stadium, it will be a battle between wounded buffaloes as both Moyale and Silver lost their matches last weekend.
Moyale lost 1-0 to Chitipa whereas Silver lost 2-1 to Civil.
However, Silver will be without key players such as midfielder Chimwemwe Idana and goalkeeper Charles Thom.
Idana has not travelled with the team as his loan expired but Thom is serving two yellow cards suspension.
There will be no break at the end of the first round as the second round is expected to kick off this weekend.
