Former AFC Leopards head coach Anthony ‘Modo’ Kimani will be hoping to serve the club with bitterness when he leads his Bandari troops in hunting for three points from the den on Sunday afternoon at the Nyayo Stadium.Just over a year ago, the former player turned coach walked out of the club immediately after last season’s first leg Mashemeji Derby only to be unveiled at the Dockers as an assistant coach to Andre Casa Mbungo.But since the Rwandese’s sacking due to a poor run of results that left Bandari in 9th position, Modo was entrusted with the leadership on an interim basis.MJUE KOCHA WETU ANTHONY “MODO” KIMANI@anthonykimani01 ni beki mstaafu ambaye kwa sasa ni mkufunzi, mchanganuzi wa kandanda na mfanyibiashara anayejihusisha sana na vifaa vya magari. 👇🏾 (Soma Zaidi) pic.twitter.com/IthTxZblCG— Bandari Football Club (@BandariOfficial) February 24, 2022 Having played to a spirited 1-1 draw against Gor Mahia in his first game in charge, the youthful coach, will be hoping to take advantage of a shaky Ingwe side that missed days of training during in demand of their unsettled club arrears.2.65 AFC Leopards 2.80 Bandari 2.90That notwithstanding, midfielder Daniel Musamali believes, believes the club will avenge their first leg 2-1 defeat despite the challenges.”We will be going for nothing short of the three points whether we have trained throughout the week or not.We had a good session on Friday where we planned on how we will beat our opponents,” he said.Waswahili walisema msafiri ni aliye BANDARIni WanaINGWE wamesema Nairobi hakuna BandariTupatane Nyayo Stadium kesho 3.00pm#Betsafe #OursForever #INGWE pic.twitter.com/1r5m1i3PQ0— AFC Leopards (@AFCLeopards) March 5, 2022 With Bandari just two points above Leopards, Kimani will be out to ensure that he can mastermind his first win at the expense of his former side.Since 4 January 2022, Bandari have also not recorded any win in the eight matches they have played in since then (D5 L3), a record that Kimani would not be proud to extend if he’s to get the job on a permanent basis.On the other hand, Ingwe get into the game off a frustrating barren stalemate against bottom placed Vihiga Bullets in their last league outing.A LETTER TO OUT 12TH MANYou’re amazing 💙💙Asanteni kwa kuja 🔥🔥🔥WE DO IT AGAIN THIS WEEKEND AGAINST BANDARI FCWith Regards,AFC Leopards #Betsafe #OursForever #INGWE pic.twitter.com/OQhNQ4lIhY— AFC Leopards (@AFCLeopards) March 1, 2022 With a chance to jump up to 8th on the log being an inviting offer, Ingwe will certainly be keen to deny ant delight to their returning ex.Recent history between the two sides points to a balanced affair between the two teams with both teams recording three wins apiece in their last six matches.Can Kimani end his team’s winless run with a tactical masterclass against his former side? Or will Ingwe play the hard ball?The match kicks off at 1500EAT.
