KCB eye Talanta’s scalp in FKF Premier League clash

The bankers lost 2-1 to league leaders Police FC last weekend and have dropped to seventh in the standings with 41 points after 28 matches played this season.

“Every remaining match in the premier league is like a final for us. We must treat it as such. Therefore, the boys have to step up in every department to ensure that we are playing as a unit. Our goal is to finish at the top four, that is where this team belongs. I am confident we will go to Dandora and come back home with three vital points,” said Odhiambo.

Having crashed out of the FKF Cup to second division side Nairobi United, Odhiambo’s men can only fight for the top four as the league title looks out of sight.

Defender Nashon Alembi and Striker Philemon Nyakwakwa are set to miss Talanta’s fixture due to illness.

Goalkeeper coach Samuel Koko and Manzur Okwako are also away with the Kenya U20 side in Egypt for the U20 AFCON tournament.

Brian Olang’o will start in goal while Kevin Okumu, Nashon Wekesa, Maurice Owino and Haniff Wesonga will feature at the backline.

In the midfield area, Michael Mutinda, Dennis Maruti and Derrick Otieno are expected to feature.

Kinyanjui James, Danson Kiprono and Patrick Otieno, who has two goals in his last two matches are set to lead KCB’s attack.
