KCB will be the freshest of both teams in terms of fitness having had more time in their hands to prepare for the clash as they sat out of the midweek fixture while Tusker had a gruelling match against Gor.⏭| Next Match🆚| @tusker_fc 🏆| @Officialfkfpl 🏟 | Utalii Grounds📆| Sunday July 1️⃣1️⃣, 2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣1️⃣🕒| 1️⃣5️⃣1️⃣5️⃣ hrs EAT#KCBTUS#Believe #LionHearted pic.twitter.com/iLJP9VBWLb— KCB Football Club 😷 (@KCBFootball) July 6, 2021 Tuker head coach Robert Matano has emphasized approaching the league on a game by game basis but noted that he will be going for three points against any opposition in the league not only KCB.“We are progressing in the league, we have played four games and won four games the other fixtures coming are part of the game we will handle the KCB game depending on their approach.Our aim is to play the game and win it be it KCB or AFC Leopards we do not fear or undermine any team,” said Matano.
