When relegation threatened Western Stima take on 12th placed Posta Rangers in the early kick off match at Thika Stadium on Sunday afternoon, the Kisumu based side will need to device a way of getting at least a point if not all three in order to at least have any hopes of taking the relegation fight to the penultimate round of the 2020/2021 Football Kenya Federation Premier League season.On Saturday, a rejuvenated Mathare United racked up their third consecutive win in their last three games to push themselves three points clear of the bottom two places that are a preserve of direct relegation.📈| @posta_rangers and @WesternStima_fc on the log ahead of their clash.#FKFPL pic.twitter.com/0kV0R2jFuI— FKF Premier League (@Officialfkfpl) August 7, 2021 Going into the match, Stima have a woeful run that they must shake off as they have lost all three of their last three games to drop into the second last position. If there is anything they need to do, they need to do it in their third last fixture against the mailmen before time runs out.According to their head coach Abdallah Juma who has no injury concerns or suspensions, another defeat will not be an acceptable result considering the position they find themselves in at this crucial time of the season.“We really need to win in the match. I know we have prepared well for the game and we are just going for a positive result even if it will be one point. What I know is that we cannot afford to lose again. Fatigue has really set in in our last games and we cannot afford to use that as an excuse anymore. We are going to work hard to get get results so as to ensure Mathare do not create a gap of more than two points because we are yet to play them,” he said.For Stanley Okumbi’s Posta, back to back wins in their last two matches have relieved the pressure off the team as they are assured of a place in the top flight next season. The team might just be chasing for a treble of victories, something they have been unable to do in the entire season, as motivation to finish their season on a high.The match kicks off at 1300EAT.This is how the league table looks like ahead of the Sunday fixtures(📸 @Officialfkfpl )#FKFPL pic.twitter.com/p5AUE1Lblc— Mozzart Sport Kenya (@MozzartSportKe) August 7, 2021
