Ekhaya want to reduce the number of goals conceded during the second half of the Malawian FDH Bank Premiership after a disappointing first phase. The team, 11th with 18 points, will face Kamuzu Barracks in Blantyre, according to coach Fundi Akidu as quoted by Malawi24.

Ekhaya coach Fundi Akidu wants to reduce the number of goals his team concedes in the FDH Premiership, Malawi’s top-flight league. He identified this weakness as one of the problems that affected the club during the first half of the season, Malawi24 reports.

Ekhaya were due to host Kamuzu Barracks at Chiwembe Stadium in Blantyre on Saturday, when the league resumed. Akidu stressed that although his team won the Airtel Top 8, it had not achieved the results it had hoped for in the league, notably because it conceded goals in every match, according to Malawi24.
