Sharks will arrive into the clash brimming with confidence following their 3-0 thumping of Sofapaka with goals from Boniface Onyango, Felix Oluoch and Fortune Omoto. William Muluya lost loyal servants since the win with Geoffrey Shiveka and Eric Juma putting an end to their lengthy stays at Sharks with Sydney Lokale also moving to KCB. City Stars midfielder Peter ‘Pinchez’ Opiyo admitted that the club will be a fiendish one but termed the break as being advantageous for both sides. “Today’s game will be hard because we have the same points but they are ahead of us with a better goal difference, we will approach the game with caution but aim for victory.Join us in welcoming our new signing Mohammed 𝘏𝘢𝘮𝘶𝘥𝘪 Bajaber, the 18 year old signs from Star Field Academy and joins the SImba Wa Nairobi outfit for the second half of the 2021/22 season.Full story ⤵️[https://t.co/FDFb3UDOLg]#𝕊𝕚𝕞𝕓𝕒𝕎𝕒ℕ𝕒𝕚𝕣𝕠𝕓𝕚 pic.twitter.com/gKb3GsZQhT— Official Nairobi City Stars Fc (@NrbCityStars) February 4, 2022 The break gives both teams an advantage at least the players have rested because our last two games were close to each other,” said Pinchez.
