8th placed FC Talanta will be hoping to extend their gap over sophomores Bidco United, who are in 11th on the log, when the two sides face each other for the very first time in the top flight Football Kenya Federation Premier League in a match set to be played on Wednesday afternoon at Ruaraka Grounds.Since their promotion from the second tier National Super League last season, Talanta have gallantly made their presence felt in the top tier as they have only lost one match in the seven they have played, holding sides such as last season runners up KCB, Francis Kimanzi’s Wazito and even Ulinzi Stars before shocking reigning champions Tusker 1-2 in their impressive opening matches.Having accumulated 12 points so far, only four short of log leading Kariobangi Sharks, the Ken Kenyatta coached side will be hoping to create further daylight between them and Bidco who are just three points behind them on nine.Going into the match, Talanta will be looking to build on their win that they got over Mathare United after the second restart of the league, a victory that can well take them to only a point from top if other results go their way.”Our preparations have been perfect. The win in our last match gave us the morale to face today’s game. Looking at the way our morale has been in camp, we are determined to record a win against Bidco today. We have tussled with them in the lower tiers and now we are looking forward to play them again in the top flight,” Barrack Odhiambo, FC Talanta captain said.On the other hand, Anthony Akhulia’s Bidco will see the clash as another chance to continue with the rejuvenated form they are currently enjoying. Having failed to record any win in the opening five games, the Thika based side appear to have taken a corner in terms of their fortunes as they have won their last two matches, momentum they would love to carry going on in their second year in the top flight.📸 | The Gaffer#Ready4Whatever pic.twitter.com/A2PsZoJ3iw— Bidco United (@BidcoUnited) October 3, 2021 Just who will carry the day on the two team’s first outing?The match kicks off at 1500 EAT.
