Murang’a Seal head coach Gabriel ‘Kingi’ Njoroge is brimming with confidence ahead of their crucial clash against Tusker FC on Sunday.
The Kenyan Premier League newcomers are set to face off against the Ruaraka-based Brewers at St. Sebastian Park in Murang’a.
Their momentum, derived from a morale-boosting 2-1 victory over Nairobi City Stars at the same venue on Wednesday, has significantly bolstered their determination to make an impact in the league, as Njoroge highlighted. “Our recent run has been instrumental in fortifying our resolve to establish dominance in the competition,” he remarked.
“We recognize that our upcoming fixture against Tusker won’t be easy, but we’re resolute in sustaining our positive results. With the advantage of playing at home, disappointing our fans is not an option. We’re aiming for maximum points,” Njoroge added.
Meanwhile, Shabana head coach Sammy Okoth has expressed confidence in his team’s ability to secure a win against Bandari at Mbaraki Stadium in Mombasa on Sunday.
Reflecting on their commendable performance in a narrow 1-0 defeat against Gor Mahia, Okoth emphasized the notable progress in their form, signifying readiness for bigger challenges.
“Our team has grown significantly in performance since our debut in the Kenyan Premier League. The quality of our game against Gor Mahia on Wednesday is a testament to our current form,” Okoth stated.
“Although we anticipate a tough contest against Bandari, who are coming off a significant win against Kenya Police, I trust that we will emerge victorious,” he added.
Furthermore, Okoth dismissed rumours of his resignation, affirming his continued leadership. The weekend’s other fixtures include Sofapaka clashing with Talanta at Kasarani Annex, Nairobi on Saturday, while Posta Rangers go head-to-head with KCB at the same venue.
