Nzoia Sugar will be looking to unhook themselves from the jaws of relegation as well as maintain the good run under coach Salim Babu when they take on Bidco United on Wednesday afternoon at the Sudi Stadium.Since appointment of Babu, the sugarmen who are in red line have made strides towards safety as they have won twice and shared points in as many matches, a run that has seen them close in on Wazito who area ahead of them by two points.Victory in the last two league games against Kariobangi Sharks and Mathare United have proved crucial as the club has not only inched closer to safety but also widened the gap between them and Vihiga Bullets and Mathare who sit in the automatic demotion slots.2.25 Nzoia Sugar 3.00 Bidco United 3.30With a win over Bidco set to send them above Wazito, Babu has urged his players to give their best in executing the plan they have been working in training.”This is a game that we can not afford to drop points for we know that victory will see us get off the red zone. The players are motivated and I encourage them to be on top of their game. We are not focusing on how other teams are performing at all. We want to win our matches and finish in the best rank possible,”said the former Sony Sugar coach.As Nzoia will be looking to relieve their relegation fears, Bidco on the other hand will be hoping to build on their 2-0 win over the title chasing Nairobi City Stars and bag their sixth win of the season.Bidco humbled Simba wa Nairobi in a match that was marred with comical officiating and head to take Nzoia on aware that three points will catapult them to a place outside the top ten bracket. Football stakeholders cry foul on officiating in Kenyan leagues amid claims of match fixingThe club’s assistant skipper Francis Oduor believes that they have what it takes to return to Thika with the three points despite their poor away record.”We have had good preparations and the most important thing is the players have the belief that we will win the game. The win over City Stars injected motivation and the hunger to win matches. Our away record has not been good but that has nothing to do with today’s game,” said the centre back.
