To us, it is like a final and we will approach it like that. It is a game that could determine our fate in the league. We have been on a losing streak but we will not lose hope at all. In football, playing such a team is easier than playing a team that is down there with us. We will give them the required respect and I believe with positive thinking we can get a result out of the game,” Twago told Mozzart Sport.KCB have been handed a timely boost with the return of midfielder Brian Rio Ochieng who has missed the last two games, against Western Stima and Gor Mahia, as he was out injured.##NAJAVA_MECA_5753621##The former Kayole Youth player admits that they have a daunting task when they play Vihiga United but they will give their all.”It is a tough game because they are fighting for their survival but we must give our best. Our eyes are focused on the title. I am in good shape after shaking off the injury and I traveled with the team, I am hoping that I will get playing time,” Ochieng said.Vihiga will not only be coming into this game with pressure from the thoughts of relegation but also from the fact that statistics are not in their favour in this clash.Second half substitute Samuel Mwangi gives KCB a 1-0 win over Vihiga United— Meshack Kisenge (@kisengemeshack1) February 6, 2021 In the three games that the two teams have played in the top tier, Vihiga have not won a single one of them, scoring only one goal in the draw of their first-ever league meeting in 2019.In the first leg encounter, Vihiga put up a spirited fight in Nairobi but ended up going down by a solitary goal courtesy of super-sub Samuel Mwangi.David Simiyu will be facing his former club after making the switch to the Bankers a few days after that game in Nairobi during the mid-season transfer window.While Zedekiah Zico Otieno charges have been scoring a lot and conceding very few times, boasting of the meanest defence in the league, Vihiga have been the exact opposite, scoring less and conceding more.As a matter of fact, they have scored the least number of goals all season, 15, which translates to just one goal in two games.The clash will be a decisive one for both teams but the big question remains, who will make the best out of it?
