Tusker will be looking to be declared the 2020-2021 Football Kenya Federation Premier League (FKF PL) champions when they travel to face Nzoia Sugar on Wednesday at the Sudi Stadium in the penultimate game of the season.This will only come to pass should the brewers see the sugar millers off and pray that their closest challenger KCB who have been hot on their heels throughout the season will bow to AFC Leopards.Tusker sit at the top with 61 points, three ahead of the bankers who will be seeking to redeem themselves from their 2-1 loss to Vihiga United and a win of any margin will see them bag their 12th league title if the latter gets a beating.Ahead of the match, Tusker left back Sammy Meja who conceded that they were under pressure to win the match said they had their eyes fixed on the league crown and will give their all to deliver it after close to a five-year wait.Up next is a trip down the Sugar Belt. pic.twitter.com/f9WTNWQQ6b— Tusker FC (@tusker_fc) August 17, 2021 Robert Matano’s charges will have to work their socks off to fork out a win at Sudi where visiting teams have found it tough to gather maximum points as the hosts have lost once this season. “The focus is to get three points in the match and edge to a match to the title. We are aware that Sudi is a tough hunting ground but we have done our homework well. Nzoia have good players but we know when to strike,”said the former Thika United defender.As Tusker seek to draw closer to the laurel, Nzoia will be hoping to bounce back to winning ways after a 3-1 loss to Kariobangi Sharks in their last game. The club under the tutelage of Ibrahim Shikanda will also be aiming to relieve their relegation pressure fully as they are a rank above the red zone.The club right back Moses Mwale says they are not interested in spoiling Tusker’s party but to preserve their good home record.Nzoia sugar FC vs Tusker FC. #Sweeteningkenyanfootball. @Nzoiasugar @tusker_fc @ElvisMukhwana pic.twitter.com/QvSi3cF6pZ— NZOIASUGARFC (@nzoiasugarfc2) August 17, 2021 “We are approaching the match like the previous ones. We are aware that our opponents have a chance of winning the league at Sudi but that is their plan. Ours is to get the three points and get back our winning mojo back,” said the former Bandari player.Tusker who won the first leg 2-1 at the Kasarani Annex have won five of the eight meetings since Nzoia were promoted to the top flight while the latter have won twice with a match ending evenly.
