A potential title-deciding fixture lays in store on Wednesday afternoon when second-placed KCB take on AFC Leopards at Thika Stadium.For the Zedekiah ‘Zico’ Otieno coached side who currently trail log leading Tusker by three points, everything they have been working for in an attempt to write the history books will be on the line, and if they snooze on the day, they lose it all.With three points separating them from Tusker, who face Nzoia Sugar, and only two games remaining before the 2020/2021 season concludes, a result short of a win may prevent the steaming title race from heading into the final league fixture especially if the Brewers, who have a superior plus seven goal difference, get even a point in their away fixture.Heading into the match, perhaps what will serve as motivation for the Bankers is the urge to get the job done on their side and to let the rest of the results to work in their favour. Another push that will be ringing at the back of their minds is the opportunity to avenge their 2-1 first leg comeback defeat at the hands of Ingwe back in January.👊|Matchday@KCBFootball vs @AFCLeopards in Thika from 3:15pm📺| Live on @StarTimesKE BTV#FKFPL pic.twitter.com/fJuQSh2pFF— FKF Premier League (@Officialfkfpl) August 18, 2021 A factor that may undo all those good intentions is the team’s inability to see out results in their last two matches where they have failed to secure a win and thus allowed Tusker to take control of proceedings. Despite creating the better chances against Gor, the side ended up playing to a barren stalemate with K’Ogalo before allowing relegation-threatened Vihiga United to snatch all the three points in a come from behind win that took their chances of winning the title for the first time in history out of their hands. Head coach Zico unrelenting as he called on his team to do what is in their control.“In football, you do not rule out anything until the final whistle. That is the mood in our camp and we are going to fight for it until the end. For us, we are prepared and raring to go. We had a setback on Sunday and I think we are past it as we solely turned our focus to this clash. They were the first side to beat us this season and heading into the clash we know it is going to very tough,” Zico told Mozzart Sport.👊|Matchday@KCBFootball vs @AFCLeopards in Thika from 3:15pm📺| Live on @StarTimesKE BTV#FKFPL pic.twitter.com/fJuQSh2pFF— FKF Premier League (@Officialfkfpl) August 18, 2021 For Ingwe, nothing apart from finishing as high as possible on the table is all that will be on the line. Assistant head coach Tom Juma, who will be on the touchline performing head coach duties after Patrick Aussems left the country, expectong“It will be a very tough match against a KCB side that has performed extremely well this season. Although we beat them in the first leg, we know that KCB are still fighting for the title. Those are two very different scenarios and for us, we just want to play to win not to play a part in calling the title race. If they want the league, that is up to them and they will have to work for it. Our objective is just to target finish as high as possible,” Juma said.The match kicks off at 1500EAT.
