Newbies Bidco United out to end on a high against Sharks

League debutants Bidco United will be hoping to cap off their overachieving season in the top flight Football Kenya Federation Premier League with positive results when they take on Kariobangi Sharks in the first of their remaining two fixtures in an early kickoff clash taking place on Wednesday afternoon at Thika Stadium.Heading into the match, the currently eleventh placed newbies have not lost since 8th July, going on an impressive eight-match unbeaten streak that has seen them get points off sides such as defending champions Gor Mahia and Francis Kimanzi’s Wazito.Having assuredly secured their stay in the top flight after gaining promotion ahead of the 2020/2021 season, head coach Anthony Akhulia, with pressure off his shoulders, has made the decision to hand some playing time to a part of his battalion that have not had so much of a role this season.“Expect to see a lot of players who have not featured regularly this season in the match as we are safe from relegation. It is only fair that I give other players a chance while those who have played regularly take a deserved rest,” the head coach said,👊|Matchday @BidcoUnited vs @k_sharksfc in Thika from 1pm#FKFPL pic.twitter.com/r5TpoSHJ2W— FKF Premier League (@Officialfkfpl) August 18, 2021 On the other end, after ending a three match losing streak following a 3-1 victory against Nzoia Sugar in their last league outing, Sharks will be hoping league top scorer Erick Kapaito, who scored a brace in the previous game to take his season’s tally to 24 league goals, will be in inspired form once again to help them to winning ways in a space of four days.Their head coach, William Muluya, focused on finishing the game on a high in the last two remaining games.“With the fact that we cannot have any say in the title fight, our aim is just focused on playing well in the remaining two matches and trying to get wins that will help us finish as high as possible in the league,” he said.The match kicks off at 1300 EAT.
