Bandari braced for Talanta test in Mombasa

Bandari FC coach Andre Casa Mbungo says FC Talanta will pose a real test for his side when they clash on Sunday at the Mbaraki Grounds in Mombasa.

Talanta have made a decent start to life in the top flight, winning two and drawing twice in their opening four matches and Mbungo expects the visitors to fight for all three points.

“I know little about them but upto Sunday I will have gathered much information about them but we will play our game,” said Mbungo.

He added, “It is always hard to play against a new side and their results are evidence that they are a good side”.

Bandari notched a morale boosting win over AFC Leopards last weekend in Mombasa and will be further uplifted by the return of defenders Siraj Mohammed and Bernard Odhiambo who were out injured.

Abdallah Hassan who was substituted against AFC Leopards on Sunday was also back in training with his team mates ahead of the weekend task.

“Siraj and Bernard are back training with the team and they might feature against Talanta,” confirmed team manager Albert Ogari.

The Dockers who have won three matches and lost one against Posta Rangers are currently 4th in the log as Talanta sit below them by a point.

Talanta shocked defending champions Tusker FC winning 2-1 in the midweek action on Wednesday.
