You can place your bet on the Wazito FC vs Mathare United game here.Mathare appear to be on a worse run, they have picked just one point from their last five games and a match against their former coach and a host of their ex-players is one they will be relishing as they seek to bounce back against a side that is equally eager to bounce back to winning ways.Looking at the statistics, both teams are currently struggling upfront, they have both managed to score just six goals in nine league outings which is an average of 0.6 goals per game an indication that both teams need to do better in the attack. Mathare equally have problems at the back as they have let in 19 goals already this season. Only Vihiga Bullets (25) have conceded more than the Ezekiel Akwana led Slum Boys.Match Day#Wazito4life pic.twitter.com/NhYKkOnlxu— Wazito Football Club (@wazitofc) December 19, 2021 Wazito coach Francis Kimanzi maintains that his side, which was busy during the off-season transfer window is a work in progress and believes that they can only get better.“Initially, we had issues with new players struggling to fit in but I’m impressed they have worked hard enough to catch up. Whenever you have a new set of players, it takes quite some time to gel the squad and establish a winning side,” he said.Akwana on the other hand was more honest on what exactly is derailing the 2008 league champions.“It is honestly very difficult as a coach. We have been talking to the management and every time the word is that the COVID situation has derailed a lot of things and there is nothing much you can do. We just push the players to do the best they can. “Sometimes it is difficult to work because you might find you have seven players in training and of those only maybe two are starters. So as a coach, you cannot even implement any plans or ideas you have for a match,” he told the Capital.🚨 | It’s Matchday! 🆚 @wazitofc 📍 Utalii grounds ⌚ 3️⃣pm 🏆 Premier League~ At Utalii today for the first time this season and against a team with some quite familiar faces 😉.
