Simba SC take to the pitch at Bingu Stadium in Lilongwe today to face hosts Mighty Wanderers in the first leg of the CAF Champions League preliminary round.
The match, scheduled to kick off at 4:00 p.m. East Africa Time, is expected to be a tough test for the hosts, who face a Simba SC side with an impressive international record in recent years.
Simba head coach Steve Barker has made it clear that his team did not travel to Malawi looking for a draw, but to fight for victory and make the return leg in Dar es Salaam easier.
Simba head into the match in high spirits after winning their last five domestic competitive matches.
Mighty Wanderers, meanwhile, are expected to make full use of home advantage and the support of their fans as they look to secure a positive result.
The team is going through a transitional period in its technical department and has endured inconsistent results in the domestic league, meaning they face a major challenge against the Reds of Msimbazi today.
The match will be officiated by Ghanaian international referee Charles Bulu and will be broadcast live on Azam Sports 2 HD.
