Bidco United will be hoping to bounce back to winning ways when they face Ulinzi Stars at Thika Stadium to continue the impressive form that has seen them go for six matches without losing after being held by Wazito FC in their previous match.After missing out in the previous round of matches, Ulinzi will be getting back to action and will also be seeking to continue their fine form in the last five matches where they have collected 12 points out of 15, with Bidco collecting 11 points in the same timeframe.Anthony Akhulia has drilled his team well and installed a winners mentality in his charges which has pushed them to compete with the big boys in just their first season in the league.This will be the second meeting between the two teams in the top tier, with the first one being the first leg encounter in January that ended in a barren draw.📈|Form Table rankings ahead of Matchday 31#BKPL pic.twitter.com/ee6fzECnpv— FKF Premier League (@Officialfkfpl) August 6, 2021 Ulinzi Stars captain James Saruni knows that this will not be an easy game owing to Bidco’s unpredictability but he is adamant that they will beat the league debutants as they have prepared well.The golden glove contender is also eyeing this game to add to his tally and reduce the pressure brewing from the chasing pack with four games left to play to the end of the season.”It will not be an easy game. Bidco is not a predictable team, it will be a hard game but our preparation has been good and we have faith that we will win. On the clean sheets log, I am leading but there is a lot of pressure because when you look at my competitors, they are just one clean sheet away, and with four games remaining I have to do my best to add more clean sheets. We urge our fans to continue supporting us in the remaining games as we strive to have a strong finish,” Saruni noted.⏭ Next assignment 😎✅ Bidco Utd FC vs Ulinzi Stars FC 🏟 Thika Stadium l Thika⏰ 1300 EAT🗓 Saturday 7th August#GBUS #WeSoldierOn pic.twitter.com/5XpQ5lYfQF— Ulinzi Stars FC (@UlinziStarsFC) August 6, 2021 Ulinzi and Bidco are some of the teams that have been very well organized defensively, conceding just 25 and 24 goals respectively.
