In-form Karonga United have threatened to pile more pressure on Mighty Mukuru Wanderers when they meet this afternoon in the TNM Super League at Kamuzu Stadium.
Karonga have never lost any match under new coach Trevor Kajawa, having won four matches and drawn once.
Wanderers are smarting from the FDH Bank Cup exit after losing 0-1 to Mafco at Kamuzu Stadium on Saturday.
Last week, the Nomads failed to collect maximum points in the league, when they came from behind to draw 1-1 against Kamuzu Barracks at the same venue.
However, Kajawa said facing Wanderers will be tough as their counterparts are eager to put smiles on their supporters’ faces.

“We are facing a side which is not doing well but this should not concern us. We are here to play our game. We plan to win to have a chance to break into the top four,” Kajawa said.
If Karonga win, they will remain fifth on the log table. Currently, Karonga have 31 points from 21 games and are tied on points with Bangwe All Stars, who have played a game more.
Meanwhile, Wanderers will be eyeing a win to dislodge Chitipa United at the summit of the log table.
The Nomads are third with 37 points from 20 matches and can top the table as Chitipa have 39 points at the summit.

Assistant coach Albert Mpinganjira said it is a must-win game for the Lali Lubani Road side.
“We cannot do otherwise, apart from winning the game, to give back something to our supporters,” Mpinganjira said.
In the first round, Wanderers won 2-1 at Karonga Stadium.
