An inconsistent Sofapaka will be aiming to get back to winning ways in the league when they host ninth-placed Kakamega Homeboyz in their familiar home turf at the Dawson Mwanyumba Stadium in Wundanyi on Sunday afternoon.Coming into the match, Batoto ba Mungu have worryingly only managed to get one win in their last seven games, results that have seen their lofty targets set at the start of the season come crashing down with a thud.Sitting in a disappointing 12th position on the log currently on 35points, the Ken Odhiambo coached side will be looking to close the gap with their opponents of the day by avenging their narrow 1-0 first leg defeat as only four points separate the two sides on the table.Match Day Sofapaka vs Kakamega Homeboyz 3 pm, Wundanyi #AbanaBeingo pic.twitter.com/aHY0juw4xj— Kakamega Homeboyz FC (@FcHomeboyz) July 25, 2021 To give the team some extra push, the side will have talisman Lawrence Juma back in the side after the club’s top scorer was suspended in the previous round due to an accumulation of five yellow cards.In Juma’s absence in the last fixture against Posta Rangers, the team could not see out a one-nil advantage as former Gor Mahia man Bernard Ondiek struck with minutes left on the clock to steal the Mailmen a point in Wundanyi.Against Homeboyz though, Sofapaka will be banking on Juma, who has scored 12 goals so far, to extend his heroics in front of goal and lead them to a revenge that would come in handy as the season draws to a close.On the other hand, a hurting Homeboyz will be all guns blazing when they approach the encounter. In their last fixture, Wazito brought to an end their two-match winning streak and a four-match unbeaten run since 26th June.👊|Matchday@FC_Sofapaka vs @FcHomeboyz in Wundanyi from 3pm#BKPL pic.twitter.com/fkPscT1z5g— Betking Kenya Premier League (@Officialfkfpl) July 25, 2021 Obviously, the Nicholas Muyoti led side will want to change that by getting back to winning ways. And which better way than getting a league double over Sofapaka?With seven games left till the end of the season and the title way out of their reach, Homeboyz will be looking for a strong run in to the season as much as possible as head coach Nicholas Muyoti revealed that this season’s target was to surpass the 47 points they scored last season.Currently, they are on 34 points, thirteen points adrift of the target. Three points on Sunday against Sofapaka will inch them closer to their target.Whether they can capitalize on Sofapaka’s mishaps and grab a famous league double awaits to be seen.The match kicks off at 1500 EAT.
