Wazito FC take their hunt for a maiden win over Ulinzi Stars to the A.S.K Grounds Nakuru when the two teams clash in a rescheduled Football Kenya Federation Premier League (FKFPL) fixture on Wednesday afternoon.Ulinzi Stars, on their end, will be looking to bounce back to winning ways after going for four matches without a win, with the last three matches being losses against Nairobi City Stars, Kakamega Homeboyz, and a 4-1 drubbing by Tusker FC.In the same timeframe, Wazito have stringed mixed results, winning, losing, and drawing at the same time in the last four matches to leapfrog Ulinzi Stars on the log with six points.A win for the hosts will see them move to 11th on the log with 31 points while a win for Wazito will see them move to sixth.Ulinzi Stars will be without youngster John Njuguna who has travelled with the Emerging Stars to Ethiopia for the CECAFA U-23 tourney while Wazito will miss on Benard Odhiambo who has also travelled with the national team as one of the senior players allowed though he has fallen down the pecking order of Wazito’s central defenders pairing.While the Moneybags sit ninth on the log with 34 points, Ulinzi Stars are 11th with 28 points with both teams having played 23 matches so far.The goals statistics for the two teams this season are almost similar. While Wazito have scored 22 goals and conceded 21, Benjamin Nyangweso’s charges have scored 18 and conceded 20. Both teams having a deficit in the goal difference.Since 2018, the two teams have met only five times in the league, six if you include the friendly match in 2018 that Ulinzi Stars won 2-1, with Ulinzi Stars being the dominant side of the two, winning three times and drawing twice.At home, Ulinzi Stars have not lost a single point to Wazito but have struggled to settle at their new home, A.S.K Grounds, losing all the matches that they have played in that ground in the absence of their fortress, Afraha Stadium.The fixture is a low-scoring one, with only four goals having been scored across the five meetings as only one match has seen more than one goal scored.In the last two encounters, the teams have played to barren draws with neither team finding the back of the net in the last 227 minutes played between these two teams. Oscar Wamalwa scored the last goal in the clash in January 2020.Can Wazito grab their maiden win against Ulinzi Stars or will the Soldiers bounce back to winning ways?
