KCB midfielder Brian ‘Rio’ Ochieng has backed his side to become the first team in the 2022/2023 Football Kenya Federation Premier League (FKFPL) campaign to hand defeat to record Kenyan champions Gor Mahia when the two sides lock horns on Wednesday 4 January at the Nyayo National Stadium.Since the season started, K’Ogalo, who are in their first season under Northern Irish head coach Johnathan McKinstry, have not faced any loss in their opening four matches (W3 D1), results that have them in fourth place on 10 points.🤜🤛 Very tough battles on the training ground. Not for the weak.#Believe #LionHearted 🦁 pic.twitter.com/K30WYJ7jbR— KCB Football Club (@KCBFootball) December 29, 2022 But with just one point separating them and Zedekiah ‘Zico’ Otieno’s KCB, Rio has expressed confidence that the team can grab all three points against the 19 time Kenyan champions as they want to go back to winning ways following their 1-2 loss against Tusker before the two week festive break.“We are ready for that challenge (Gor Mahia) because we are going into the match coming from a loss. As a team, we never want to go for two consecutive losses, so we are going into the match seeking a win so that we can get back on track,” the player told Mozzart Sport.📆 Mark your calendars!These are our fixtures for the 68 days long month of Njaanuary.
