2025 TNM Super League in numbers: Team by Team breakdown

As the 2025 TNM Super League season progresses, a comprehensive look at each team’s performance reveals fascinating patterns, surprising struggles, and dominant forces shaping the championship race.

MIGHTY WANDERERS- The Road Warriors

The Nomads have built their title challenge on an extraordinary away record that stands as the best in the league. Nine victories from 12 away games, coupled with 20 goals scored and just four conceded, demonstrates a team that thrives under pressure in hostile environments. Only three teams—Moyale Barracks, Civil Service United, and Karonga United—have managed to deny them maximum points on their travels.

At home, Wanderers have been solid rather than spectacular. Five wins and three draws from eight games, scoring 11 and conceding three, shows a team that perhaps feels more pressure to perform in front of their own fans. Still, with 14 wins from 20 games overall, they’re setting the pace closer to the summit.

Key Stat: +16 goal difference away from home—the best in the league.

BIG BULLETS – The Home Fortress

If Mighty Wanderers are the away specialists, Big Bullets are the masters of their own domain. Their home record is nothing short of phenomenal: nine wins from 12 games, 34 goals scored, and just nine conceded. That’s an average of nearly three goals per home game, turning their ground into a scoring gallery that few opponents can withstand.

On the road, Bullets have been efficient and clinical. Seven wins from nine away games, scoring 12 and conceding four, proves they can adapt their game when necessary. Two defeats away from home remain their only blemish in an otherwise impressive campaign. With 16 wins from 21 games, they’re just a point above Wanderers.

Key Stat: 34 home goals from 12 games—an attacking powerhouse on familiar turf.

CIVIL SERVICE UNITED – The Defensive Masterclass

Civil Service United have built their top-three position on defensive excellence, particularly at home. Seven wins from 11 home games is impressive, but it’s the three goals conceded that truly catches the eye. The Servants have turned their home ground into a fortress where opposing attackers go to have their confidence shattered. Eighteen goals scored at home complements their defensive solidity perfectly.

Away from home, however, Civil struggle to replicate that dominance. Three wins from 10 away games, with eight goals both scored and conceded, reveals a team that functions best within their comfort zone. Four draws on the road suggest they know how to avoid defeat when they can’t secure victory.

Key Stat: Just 3 goals conceded at home in 11 games—the tightest home defense in the league.

KARONGA UNITED – The Balanced Brigade

Karonga United represent consistency and balance in a league of extremes. Winning exactly half their 12 away games (six wins, three losses, three draws) while maintaining respectable home form (five wins from nine games) shows a team comfortable in any environment. Their 16 away goals demonstrate attacking ambition on their travels.

At home, they’ve been less prolific with nine goals scored, but conceding just five shows defensive discipline. With nine goals scored and five conceded at home, they’re a team that grinds out results rather than blows opponents away.

Key Stat: 50% away win rate—few teams can match their road consistency.

SILVER STRIKERS – The Bankers’ Solid Returns

Silver Strikers have enjoyed a profitable season, particularly on the road where they’ve won half of their 10 away games. More impressively, they’ve lost just once away from home, with four draws showing resilience. Seventeen goals scored on their travels makes them one of the league’s most potent away attacks, though nine conceded suggests some defensive vulnerability.

At home, the Bankers have won five of eight games with two draws and one defeat. Eleven goals scored and just four conceded at home demonstrates the defensive improvement they’ve found in familiar surroundings.

Key Stat: Only 1 away defeat from 10 games—remarkable road resilience.

EKHAYA FC – The Home Cowboys

Ekhaya FC perfectly illustrate the home-away divide that defines this league. At home, the Cowboys are formidable: eight wins from 12 games, 17 goals scored, and just seven conceded. Their fans clearly inspire performances that opposing teams struggle to handle.

The road, however, is a different story entirely. Just two wins from nine away games, coupled with five defeats and two draws, reveals a team that loses its identity away from home. Seven goals scored and ten conceded on their travels suggests both attacking timidity and defensive vulnerability when the home comforts disappear.

Key Stat: 8 home wins vs 2 away wins—the Cowboys need their corral.

BLUE EAGLES – The Ultimate Averaging Team

Blue Eagles have achieved something unusual in the TNM Super League: perfect mediocrity. Their 12 away games have produced four wins, four draws, and four losses—an exact three-way split that suggests neither dominance nor disaster. Ten goals scored and 14 conceded on the road shows they’re competitive but not clinical.

At home, the pattern continues: four wins, three draws, and three losses from ten games. Fourteen goals scored and nine conceded at home represents a slight improvement, but Eagles remain the league’s most consistent middle-of-the-road team. They’re equally likely to win, draw, or lose any given match.

Key Stat: 4-4-4 away record—perfectly balanced mediocrity.

CHITIPA UNITED – The Home-Only Paradox

Chitipa United present one of the season’s most striking contradictions. At home, they’re a genuine mid-table force: seven wins from 12 games, 15 goals scored, and just six conceded. Their home form alone would place them comfortably in the top half of the table.

Away from home, however, Chitipa simply cease to exist as a competitive force. Zero wins from 10 away games, with just one goal scored and ten conceded, represents the worst away record among teams not in the relegation zone. Six draws on the road at least show some resilience, but their inability to score away from home (one goal in 10 games!) is deeply concerning.

Key Stat: 0 away wins and 1 away goal from 10 games—road performance that defies belief.

KAMUZU BARRACKS – The Inconsistent Soldiers

Kamuzu Barracks have struggled to find any rhythm this season. Four wins from 11 away games, with six losses, shows a team that occasionally rises to the challenge but more often falls short. Scoring and conceding 12 goals apiece on the road demonstrates neither defensive solidity nor attacking prowess.

At home, KB have been equally inconsistent: three wins, four draws, and three losses from ten games. Ten goals scored and 12 conceded at home suggests defensive frailties that undermine their efforts. They’re a team stuck in no-man’s land, neither threatening the top nor seriously worried about the bottom.

Key Stat: 12 goals conceded at home—defensive issues hampering their progress.

CRECK SPORTING CLUB – Struggling for Identity

Creck Sporting Club are treading water in mid-table mediocrity. Two wins from nine away games, with three draws and four losses, represents underwhelming road form. Five goals scored and ten conceded away from home shows limited attacking threat and defensive vulnerability.

At home, they’ve improved slightly with four wins from 11 games, but four draws and three losses still represent inconsistency. Eight goals scored and eight conceded at home perfectly captures their inability to dominate games even with home advantage. They’re a team going nowhere fast.

Key Stat: 8-8 home goal record—perfectly balanced, perfectly average.

MOYALE BARRACKS – The Draw Specialists

Moyale Barracks have developed an unwanted specialty: drawing home games. Seven draws from 11 home matches represents 14 dropped points that could have lifted them clear of relegation concerns. Just two home wins, combined with 11 goals scored and 11 conceded at home, shows a team that can neither defend properly nor finish chances.

Away from home, they’ve actually performed better with three wins from nine games, though five defeats show inconsistency. Six goals scored and 13 conceded on the road reveals defensive fragility that costs them dearly.

Key Stat: 7 home draws from 11 games—masters of the dropped point.

MIGHTY TIGERS – Toothless and Clawless

Mighty Tigers are fighting for survival with just five wins from 22 games. Their away form is abysmal: one win, five draws, and five defeats from 11 games. Five goals scored and 12 conceded on the road shows a team that rarely threatens and often crumbles under pressure.

At home, Tigers have been marginally better with four wins from 11 games, but six defeats shows vulnerability even with home advantage. Eleven goals scored and 12 conceded at home demonstrates neither attacking potency nor defensive stability. They’re in serious relegation trouble.

Key Stat: Just 1 away win from 11 games—survival requires radical improvement.

DEDZA DYNAMOS – Defensive Disasters Away

Dedza Dynamos sit precariously close to the relegation zone with just six wins from 21 games. Their away form is catastrophic: two wins from 11 games, with eight defeats. More alarmingly, they’ve conceded 19 goals on the road while scoring just nine—an average of nearly two goals conceded per away game.

At home, they’ve won four from ten games, which keeps hope alive. Seven goals scored and seven conceded at home shows improved balance, but with four defeats and two draws, they’re not dominant even in familiar surroundings. They need to find points quickly.

Key Stat: 19 goals conceded away—defensive fragility threatening survival.

Mafco FC- Poor away, better home record

Their road record is quite poor – just 1 win in 11 away games (9% win rate). They’re bleeding goals on the road, conceding nearly twice as many as they score (15 conceded vs 8 scored, a -7 goal difference). This suggests they struggle to maintain their defensive shape and create chances when away from home.

Much Better at Home At home, they’re a different team – winning 5 of 11 games (45% win rate) with a more respectable attacking output (14 goals). However, they’re still conceding too many (15 goals at home), which explains why they’ve lost 5 home games. Their defense is a concern everywhere.

Overall Assessment With 6 wins from 22 games (27% win rate), Mafco are in the bottom half of the table territory. Their total goal difference of -14 (22 scored, 37 conceded) tells the real story – they’re leaking goals at both ends of the pitch.

MZUZU CITY HAMMERS – Sinking Fast

Mzuzu City Hammers are in deep trouble with just five wins from 21 games. Three away wins from ten games sounds reasonable until you see the damage: 19 goals conceded on the road with just eight scored. They’ve lost seven away games, and zero draws suggests they either win or collapse completely.

At home, the Hammers have won just two of 11 games, losing six and drawing three. Eight goals scored and 16 conceded at home represents defensive chaos that leaves them second from bottom. With 35 goals conceded overall, they’re leaking goals at an unsustainable rate.

Key Stat: 35 total goals conceded from 21 games—a defense in meltdown.

SONGWE BORDER FC – The Inevitable Drop

Songwe Border FC’s season is beyond salvaging. With just one win from 21 games, relegation isn’t a possibility—it’s a certainty. Their away record is among the worst in league history: zero wins, one draw, and ten defeats from 11 games. Two goals scored and 33 conceded on the road represents an average of three goals conceded per away game—a figure that speaks to systematic collapse.

At home, they’ve won just one game from ten, with one draw and eight defeats. Six goals scored and 19 conceded at home shows they’re not competitive even with home advantage. With eight total goals scored and 52 conceded across 21 games, Songwe Border are simply outclassed at this level.

Key Stat: 2 goals scored away, 33 conceded—the worst away record in league history.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

This team-by-team analysis reveals several key themes defining the 2025 TNM Super League season:

The Great Divide: The gap between top and bottom is enormous. While Mighty Wanderers and Big Bullets dominate with 30 combined wins, Songwe Border have managed just one. This disparity suggests competitive imbalance that the league must address.

Home Advantage Matters: Teams like Chitipa United, Ekhaya FC, and Civil Service United show dramatically better home records, while Mighty Wanderers buck the trend by excelling away. This suggests psychological and tactical factors beyond pure ability.

The Relegation Battle: Mighty Tigers, Dedza Dynamos, Mzuzu City Hammers, and Songwe Border are locked in a desperate fight for survival. Their shared characteristic? Inability to win away from home. In this league, teams that can’t steal road points don’t survive.

The Title Race: Mighty Wanderers’ away dominance versus Big Bullets’ home fortress sets up a fascinating conclusion. If the fixture list favors Wanderers with more away games or Bullets with more home games, it could decide the championship.

As the season enters its crucial final phase, these numbers tell us everything we need to know: the strong will survive, the weak will fall, and somewhere in between, the battle for every point intensifies.
