Ulinzi warriors head Coach William Balozi says they will be looking to avenge their first leg defeat against Lakeside when they host them at Nyayo Gymnasium in the men basketball premier league.

Ulinzi are currently second on the standings with three games of the regular season left to go. Lakeside are eight places adrift in tenth.

“We have to win especially after they defeated us in the first leg. A win will give us a higher chance of finishing top of the regular league standings. We have trained well and we are focused,” Balozi said.

Ulinzi begin their weekend action against EMYBA on Saturday before playing Lakeside the following day.

On his part, Lakeside head coach Dismas Oketch said this weekend will be one of their toughest weekends as they play Equity on Saturday before facing Ulinzi on Sunday.

“It’s going to be tough but if we beat Ulinzi at home I don't see anything that should stop us from doing the same on the road. We're going to put up a fight, because we need to win more than they do,” Oketch said.
