Police beat Naivasha-based Vegpro in their match while Posta beat Kitale-based Wisdom Soccer Academy by a similar scoreline to secure a round of 32 ticket.##NAJAVA_MECA_7899440##Both teams are currently in largely good form in the league.

They are separated by just two points, with Posta at 39 and the law enforcers at 37.The two teams are seeking their maiden Cup title as they have never lifted it. Mozzart Bet Cup enters Round of 32 this weekendPosta came close in 2014 but lost the final to Sofapaka, and with the league appearing to be heading Gor Mahia’s way, both teams will be keen on bagging the Mozzart Bet Cup, the only other available silverware.The two teams met in the league earlier this season where Posta put the law enforcers to the sword, thrashing them 3-0 at their Police Sacco grounds, one of the results that eventually led to coach Francis Baraza’s dismissal and the appointment of Zdravko Logarusic, who was also shown the door in December.They met again a fortnight ago, and this time the match ended in a barren draw despite Posta seeing red in the sixth minute of the game and having to endure the remainder of the duel a man down.The match will get underway at 3:15 PMFC Talanta vs. Bungoma StarsBefore the match between Posta and Police, FC Talanta will take on FKF Division Two side, Bungoma Stars at the same venue from midday. The two teams qualified for the round of 32 after beating Marafiki FC and Bandari FC respectively, in the preliminary round.Talanta, who are yet to bag any silverware in the top tier, will be keen to avoid an upset when they play the Bungoma-based club. Stars stunned 2015 winners Bandari in the preliminary round, eliminating them with a 2-1 win, and they will be hoping to cause yet another upset, this time in the capital city.Mozzart Bet Cup Round of 32 fixtures #FootballKE pic.twitter.com/yH50Y5ZeIz— Brian Odhiambo (@Odhiambo_Brian1) February 21, 2024 Led by former FKF Premier League striker Meshack Karani who bagged the winner against Bandari, the fourth-tier side will fancy their chances against Talanta, but coach Ken Kenyatta will aim his guns at them, hoping to qualify for the last 16 with ease.Other Saturday matches will see Silibwet Leons play Sofapaka in Bomet, while Compel FC will host Kajiado FC in Bungoma.
