Fifth-placed Nairobi City Stars, alias Simba wa Nairobi, will be out to quickly rectify the mistakes they committed in their last league outing when they take on an out of form and winless Nzoia Sugar in a midweek league encounter slated for Ruaraka Grounds on Wednesday afternoon.Over the past weekend, City Stars saw their five match unbeaten streak come to an end as they succumbed to the challenge of Kariobangi Sharks who defeated them 1-2 for their second loss of the season that consequently pushed them down till their current fifth position.FULLTIMEIt ends in defeat in RuarakaSCORESNCS 1️⃣ – 2️⃣ KSH#𝕊𝕚𝕞𝕓𝕒𝕎𝕒ℕ𝕒𝕚𝕣𝕠𝕓𝕚— Official Nairobi City Stars Fc (@NrbCityStars) December 4, 2021 However, going into the clash, the Nicholas Muyoti led side will feel confident of picking up all three points and returning to winning ways considering the kind of form their opponents are in. Since the start of the 2021/2022 campaign, Nzoia have not won any of the seven games they have played this far into the campaign, losing five and drawing two.It is not only winning that is the problem at the sugar millers, the Ibrahim Shikanda coached side are the second least scoring team in the entire league as they have managed only three goals, a poor average of 0.4 goals per match.On the flipside, City Stars are the second highest scoring in the league with fourteen, an average of 2 goals per match. It is for that reason that the Jonathan Jackson funded outfit will feel the game is theirs to lose.Travelling squad for our clash against Nzoia![https://t.co/6rARAwwUS7] Link to full story#BetterMustCome #COYSWN#𝕊𝕚𝕞𝕓𝕒𝕎𝕒ℕ𝕒𝕚𝕣𝕠𝕓𝕚 pic.twitter.com/t9jDnwzNes— Official Nairobi City Stars Fc (@NrbCityStars) December 7, 2021 According to assistant head coach John Amboko, none of that will matter on the pitch as City Stars are only focused on getting the job done after their defeat.”When we prepare for our matches we pay very little attention to the form our opponents are in because we only focus on getting the best out of ourselves. After a defeat, two things can normally happen. Either it can be a morale booster or players can get demoralized. Alll indicators in our camp show that the boys are ready to bounce back and we have prepared adequately,” Amoko told Mozzart Sport.With pressure on their shoulders, Shikanda will be hoping his side can bail him out of danger before the axe falls on him. Will they manage though?Nzoia Sugar FC boss Ibrahim Shikanda has two- three games to save his job. The team is still winless seven matches into the new season.The Millers’ next three games are against Nairobi City Stars, Kariobangi Sharks and Tusker FC.#FKFPL pic.twitter.com/SqOiLSDKdY— Ole Teya (@Kevin_teya) December 7, 2021 The match kicks off at 1300 EAT.
