Posta Rangers head coach Stanley Okumbi is certain that they will carry the day when they play Football Kenya Federation Premier League returnees Nairobi City Stars at the Rauaraka grounds on Saturday at 1:00pm.Rangers will be seeking to find their winning mojo back after playing a relegation battling Western Stima to a barren draw in their last match while their match day opponents will be aiming to redeem themselves from a 2-0 loss suffered in the hands of Mathare United.Okumbi revealed that he spend the better part of the week days polishing his forward line in a bid to breach the City Stars defence at will and bag their eighth win of the season.”We didn’t meet our usual standards last week. We’re looking to bounce back quickly against Nairobi city stars this weekend”🗣️ Eliud Lokuwam#WeAreTheMailMen pic.twitter.com/XEkCFuMZIa— Posta Rangers Football Club (@posta_rangers) August 12, 2021 The mailmen who still have a mathematical chance of of a top ten finish are perched 12th with 35 points, five adrift of Bidco United who are above them and one off the tenth paced Ulinzi Stars.”We have worked on the area which let us down in our last game against Stima. The offensive department failed to score from the chances we created but we have sharpened it in training. It is important for us to win the match as it will improve our chances of a top ten finish,” said the former Harambee Stars coach.As Okumbi expressed hope in his forwards to unleash their acquired skills, his City Stars counterpart John Amboko was also optimistic of picking the three points.The former defender pegged his hopes on the return of four players whom he noted that missed the Mathare duel on unspecified grounds. Although he declined to mention their names, the former AFC Leopards player is set to miss the trio of Peter Opiyo, Rodgers Okumu and Wycliffe Otieno through injury.Nairobi City Stars will host Posta Rangers at Ruaraka on Saturday 14 August 2021 from 1 pm and not 3 pm as had earlier been planned ⤵️https://t.co/zNdFqLhhBj https://t.co/Tx4QYmuYW1— Official Nairobi City Stars Fc (@NrbCityStars) August 13, 2021 “We need to redeem ourselves after the embarrassing loss to Mathare United. I missed close to half a dozen players in the match but I am glad four will be available for selection. We have plummeted on the log and the boys have to give their best and get back to within the top five bracket,” he said.The first leg between the two sides ended in a 1-1 score line. Rangers have won two out of the last seven meetings with the rest of the five matches ending evenly.
