We want to build on that win so that we can also beat Homeboyz. What happened at Bukhungu is behind us and our focus is just to win this game to move up in the table,” he told the Daily Nation.Despite being a match that could potentially stretch their advantage at the top, Mwalala is relaxed ahead of the game. “It is just a match like any other; there is no pressure to beat Bandari just because they are my former team. We have prepared well for the game, the approach is the same we have had in the other games, the goal is to get three points and we are going to do our best to get maximum points from that game,” he told Mozzart Sport.Vihiga Bullets vs City Stars5.90 Vihiga Bullets 3.50 Nairobi City Stars 1.60Elsewhere at Bukhungu Stadium, Nairobi City Stars will be out to end their two-match losing streak when they come up against Vihiga Bullets.
