Odera knows that a win against Police FC will boost his charges morale and give the team a renewed sense of belief for the run in.Probable Line UpsKenya Police FC Kenya Police FC under the tutelage of Francis Baraza will look to get back to winning ways with a very strong squad. In goal the tactician could go with Kenyan International Patrick Matasi, who will have a lot to prove after a not so convincing display against Iran for the Harambee Stars.A look into Matasi’s match statistics against IranThe fullback positions could be occupied by Erick Juma and Aboud Omar with a centre back partnership of Musa Mohammed with David “Cheche” Ochieng the most likely. However Harun Shakava and Soita Silicho could still be in with a shout. In midfield, with Patillah Omotto injured the law enforcers could go with Marvin Nabwire partnered with Ouma Charles with Duke Abuya occupying the advanced playmaking role. In form Elvis Rupia is the most likely to lead the line, however how he is paired or rotated with Otanga Derrick will be key in how Police FC manage the second leg of the season. In the wide positions Francis Kahata should start with Alvin Mangeni on the opposite side. The team however could still employ Clfton Miheso or David Okoth. An embarrassment of riches.Wazito FC Former AP Bomet coach Odera Charles will look to go with an unchanged side with Owade Ezekiel in goal, Bulimo Clinton and Mohammed Yusuf in the fullback positions with a centre back pairing of Onyango Kevin and Owino Denis. The midfield three could consist of Ochieng Ibrahim, Bwire Stephen, Amadire Dennis with the front three consisting of Onyango Robert, Odhiambo Collins and pacy Odundo Maxwell.##NAJAVA_MECA_7152806##Styles Of PlayWazito FCWazito Fc look to play in a very solid midblock, looking to deny any central penetration. The Wazito outfit look to absorb pressure and play for set-pieces with heavy emphasis on long balls in behind when attacking as they look to u unleash the pace of Odundo Maxwell in behind to cause possibilities of 1v1 sitautions. In the build up phase Wazito look to go long and duel for the second ball with heavy emphasis on physicality in the central areas. In Robert Onyango, Wazito pose a threat in the creation and finishing phases with the lethal left foot of Robert Onyango able to come up with snap shots. In Odhiambo Collins, Wazito have a player with very high work rate and lethal in the air who with hos eye for goal can cause any team problems.Kenya Police FC Confident Wazito FC host wounded Police FC in midweek clash in MuhoroniPolice FC look to build out from the back in a 4-2-4 shape, in the build up the players are close together while in attack they look to occupy each lane. Coach Baraza looks to have his players in close proximity in the final third so they can combine well. Against Ulinzi Stars, Kenya Police FC did not look to commit numbers attacking their box, this is against their norm as they look to commit numbers into the box and early crosses into the box to catch out the opposition.In Duke Abuya and Francis Kahata, they have 1v1 superiority while the wingbacks majorly look to invert to make the passing distances shorter while having a unit compact in transition. Police FC lay major emphasis on verticality and qualitative superiority in their play and this will be on show for the Muhoroni faithful who will throng the stadium.What to expectIn what should be a rather straight forward game for Kenya Police Fc, Wazito will look to frustrate them by looking to make play predictable by limiting passing options and protecting central passing lanes by applying pressure on specific triggers and forcing mistakes when the ball is high. Kenya Police Fc will look to impose themselves in the match and look for a statement result, an early goal should quench the nerves as they can then look to build on that.
