Kanjere will handle the derby for the first time since 2023, when he officiated a match that ended 1-1 between the two rivals.

Both teams enter the game in high spirits after securing victories in their previous matches. Mighty Wanderers defeated Blue Eagles 3-1 at Nankhaka Stadium on Wednesday, while FCB Nyasa Big Bullets thumped MAFCO FC 3-0 on Tuesday.

Four points separate the two teams, with the Reds sitting top of the table on 49 points from 20 games, while the Nomads are second with 45 points from 19 games. A win for either side will be instrumental in the Super League title race.
