AFC Leopards will for the first time since Nzoia Sugar’s return to the top-flight in 2017 take on the Millers at their Sudi Stadium backyard on Sunday afternoon in the last league match of the season.In the previous years, the two teams have been meeting at either Bukhungu Stadium in Kakamega or at the Mumias Sports Complex as the match had been earmarked as a high-risk duel. Earlier in the season, Gor Mahia equally played at Sudi with the match ending in a one-all draw.##NAJAVA_MECA_6449100##Heading to the game, the Bungoma-based side is all but safe from the drop with 31 points as Wazito will have to beat Vihiga Bullets by 12 goals to even Nzoia’s goal-difference should Salim Babu’s side lose to Leopards. Ingwe on the other hand are sixth on the log with 46 points which is a massive achievement after what was a very difficult start of the season for the club.Last Monday, Ingwe traveled to Thika with just 14 players for their game against Nairobi City Stars after most senior players refused to turn up for the game due to salary and bonuses areas. The team however still managed a one-all draw with a much-depleted squad consisting largely of youngsters.NEXT MATCHWe’ll be up against Nzoia Sugar FC at Sudi Stadium this Sunday in our final league match of the season Let’s turn up at Sudi in numbers to show some love for the team 💙💙#OursForever #INGWE pic.twitter.com/BenvOZCEux— AFC Leopards (@AFCLeopards) June 10, 2022 The first leg between the two sides that was staged at the Nyayo National Stadium ended in a one-all draw.Nzoia coach Babu is relishing the clash against Ingwe. “It is a good game, we are playing at home and we are going to try and give our best in that match.
