With 12 to his name, he has scored nearly half of last season’s runners-up goals. The two teams played out to a barren draw in the first leg.Ahead of the game, Leopards forward Victor Omune says the target is to end the season in the top five positions in order to make the fans happy.“The most important thing for me is helping the team finish in the top five. The team did not have a good start in the season but the players are able to give the fans something to smile about in the final rounds,” he stated.Brian Ochieng reveals KCB’s achilles heel in poor runDespite the fact that they will miss Mutinda and Badi, KCB assistant coach Godfrey Oduor is calm and believes that they have players capable of successfully replacing the duo“We have a pool of 30 players who compete for the first eleven, despite Badi and Mutinda missing anyone can be picked as a starter. The league is edging closer to an end and we are hopeful we are going to win the remaining matches to secure a top-four finish,” Oduor told Citizen.The match will kick-off at 3 PM.
