16th placed Vihiga United will be hoping to have turned around the corner when it comes to their longstanding battle to avoid relegation as they welcome 10th placed Ulinzi Stars at the ASK Grounds in Nakuru in a league match this afternoon.Sitting just one point away from the safety places after a morale-boosting 0-2 win Western Stima in their last league encounter, head coach Mike Mururi will be hoping to lead his charges to do something they have not done before this season in order to have hopes of evading the chop – get consecutive victories.🚨 Match Day!✅ Vihiga United FC vs Ulinzi Stars FC 🏟 A.S.K Grounds l Nakuru⏰ 1515 EAT#GBUS #WeSoldierOn pic.twitter.com/bHZWaMyBSC— Ulinzi Stars FC (@UlinziStarsFC) July 30, 2021 After weathering a three-match consecutive losing streak, the county-funded side get in the game against the Soldiers in good form by their own right having collected four points from the last six that were available, form that assistant head coach Samuel Twago believes could not have come at a better time for the team with just five crucial games left before the season wraps up.”The morale since winning our last match has been very high and we are very hungry to build on that result by getting a win. At least the belief and confidence is back now after the disappointing losses we had. Having said that, we expect a tough match from Ulinzi. We know they are not an easy side to beat but we will fight and we hope we can execute everything right in the match from our side. What we cannot afford is losing the game,” the assistant said.The opponent of the day, Ulinzi, will come into the match brimming in confidence after claiming the scalp of defending champions Gor Mahia in a narrow 1-0 win. Head coach Benjamin Nyangweso will be hoping that they can pick maximum points to maintain proximity with the teams ahead of them.🚨 Match Day!✅ Vihiga United FC vs Ulinzi Stars FC 🏟 A.S.K Grounds l Nakuru⏰ 1515 EAT#GBUS #WeSoldierOn pic.twitter.com/bHZWaMyBSC— Ulinzi Stars FC (@UlinziStarsFC) July 30, 2021 Currently, only four points separate 5th placed Wazito and 10th placed Ulinzi.
