With both teams suffering chronic inconsistency, Sofapaka and AFC Leopards will be out to claim three points that will see the victor move to the top half of the log.Ahead of the Sunday clash, both teams have an identical record having registered six wins, eight draws and six defeats thus far this season.Even more intriguing is their mirror head to head record that has seen both sides win 11 times while five draws have been registered in their last 27 league encounters.AFC Leopards SC, since Thursday March 12, 1964.#IngweAt58 pic.twitter.com/5e3oWFyA5N— AFC Leopards (@AFCLeopards) March 12, 2022 Despite their disappointing recent run of results with draws against Bandari and relegation-threatened Vihiga Bullets, Ingwe are unbeaten in the last six games.Speaking to Mozzart Sport, Ingwe custodian Maxwell Mulili noted that they will go for nothing short of a victory and added that having not played against Ulinzi could work to their advantage.“In every game, we always approach it with the aim of getting a victory and this will be no different but this will be a tough game having that they beat us in the first leg.We have a bit of energy in us having not played against Ulinzi Stars on Wednesday and they played against Gor Mahia but we cannot really rely on that,” said Mulili.Ingwe’s clash against the Soldiers was called off after Ulinzi Stars for the second time this season against the same opponent failed to provide a well-equipped ambulance.Sofapaka on the other hand surrendered a one-goal lead to settle for a 1-1 draw against record Kenyan champions Gor Mahia to extend their winless run to three.Batoto ba Mungu’s head coach Ken Odhiambo admitted that beating Ingwe will not be a walk in the park as they have enjoyed a decent run of form.🔙|Joe Waithira sole effort last time out in Wundanyi against the Leopards🔜|Tomorrow we seek to complete a double at Nyayo National Stadium@betikaKe@OyandoRonny#BatotoBaMungu pic.twitter.com/NzUB4doEvi— Sofapaka FC (@FC_Sofapaka) March 12, 2022 “Sunday’s encounter against AFC Leopards will be a tough match but we are ready to battle them out.
