They come up in the second half and showed that they wanted a win. There is nothing we can do about the fixture, we have to cope with it,” Kenyatta said.Posta Rangers vs Wazito, Kasarani Annex – 3PMIn the other match, Posta Rangers take on Wazito Fc at Kasarani Annex as the Mailmen seek to break into the top ten while the visiting wazito will have their eyes on pulling away from Mathare United.In six fixtures, Wazito have only managed a single goal, scored as they labored from behind to hold KCB FC to a 1-1 draw at their Muhoroni Stadium backyard. Apart from the draw, the remaining five games were lost.##NAJAVA_MECA_7010369##Ahead of the match, the visiting coach Jeff Odongo opines that they have been creating many chances but their major undoing has been on the lack of conversion on those chances”We create too many chances, but all go to waste, As a coach, you only get worried when you’re not creating scoring chances, but when you do, it means you’re doing your training well. But we keep working as a team with my strikers, and I’m positive things are going to improve. Kamau (John) is a coach who understands his work. The game against his side is going to be tough, but we’re going to approach from a positive angle,” Odongo said.Additional reporting by Bonface Osano
