Defending champions Nyasa Big Bullets and Mafco are closing in on TNM Super League current leaders Blue Eagles as they are now training by three points.
Bullets thumped Kamuzu Barracks 4-1 at Kamuzu Stadium on Sunday to move a place up to second position with 31 points from 17 games just like Mafco who pipped Azam Tigers 2-1.
However, Bullets have a better goal difference.
But Silver Strikers also have a chance to go second if they can beat MTV Max Bullets on Wednesday.
New-signing Collen Nkhulambe and captain Chiukepo Msowoya scored a brace apiece for Bullets while Benson Hojani claimed the face saver for the Malawi Defence Force (MDF) side.
Leaders Blue Eagles were frustrated by Epac FC who forced them to a goalless draw at Civo Stadium in Lilongwe.
At Mzuzu Stadium, Moyale Barracks and Mzuzu University (Mzuni) FC played out a one-all draw.
Lughindiko Nhlane put Mzuni ahead in the 10th minute before Steve Msiska cancelled the lead 22 minutes later.
