Our past two games were against big sides, Tusker and Gor Mahia are both giants and we got wins and so we have to approach the game against Leopards with the same mentality and get the job done, we are going for maximum points in that game,” he stated.The lanky central defender further warned against underrating Leopards. He says the current form won’t count much if they do not get the basics right and implement their game plan fully.“They may be struggling in terms of form at the moment but we cannot underrate them, a derby is not always won by the inform team and as such we must get the basics right, implement our gameplan well and have some little of luck on our side to get maximum points,” he added.The Ingo derby will start at 3 PM.
