Vihiga Bullets head coach Andrew Ongwae anticipates a tough but enticing match when they face Gusii FC in a National Super League match on Sunday at the Vapor Ngong Grounds.Apart from the battle for survival which makes the tie a sweet one, the prospect of him facing a team he was among the founding members and later head coach excites the former Shabana FC defender.Although he feels they are well prepared for the Omugusii club, the gaffer who took over the reins at the club two months ago acknowledges the massive improvement their opponents have shown since the change in the technical bench that has seen them stage a strong contest for survival.##NAJAVA_MECA_8010149##Ongwae says his charges are ready having faced formidable sides in the last four matches. The Kikuyu based club have played Dimba Patriots, Migori Youth, Nairobi United and Kibera Blacks picking three draws while losing a single game that gives the coach more confidence ahead of the crucial weekend match.“It will not be an easy game but I expect a thrilling encounter, this is a side I helped found and took them through their early years in the second tier therefore I happen to have a clear map about them,” stated Ongwae.“They have a young team and it will be interesting to see how they fare against us, I expect a challenge that we are equally ready for,” he added.“We’ve had some good results in our last few matches and we hope to build up from that as we go into this game. It will be a tough fixture but we hope to clinch victory from that.The amazing transformation of ex-footballer Joseph Kinyanjui – from an armed gangster to a crime and drug abuse fighterCommenting on the team fitness ahead of the clash which will have an impact on their season and his rein since taking over from George Owoko, the expert said, “The biggest worry is that we are going to miss seven players for the match: four defenders, two midfielders and a striker even goalkeeper Brian Odhiambo is a doubt for the game.”“The injuries have placed us in a tight angle but the remaining boys have shown during training that they are capable of arresting the moment and producing impactful results,” he told Mozzart Sport.Bullets are currently 15th on the log with 24 points, two ahead of Gusii who are ranked 17th after 25 rounds.Omwando hopeful of Shaban’a’s survival chancesNational Super League Weekend FixturesSaturdayKajiado FC vs Mulembe United – Ildamat Stadium (3pm)Mathare United vs Migori Youth – Kasarani Annex (1pm)Naivas FC vs Dimba Patriots – Ruaraka Grounds (1pm)Silibwet Leons vs Kisumu All Stars – Silibwet Green Stadium (3pm)Nairobi United vs Kibera Black Stars – Mpesa Foundation (1pm)SundayMombasa Elite vs Luanda Villa SC – Serani Sports Grounds (3pm)Mara Sugar vs Mombasa Stars – Awendo Green Stadium (1pm)Darajani Gogo vs Rainbow FC – KIBHT Grounds (3pm)SS Assad vs MCF FC – Ukunda Showgrounds (3pm)Vihiga Bullets vs Gusii FC – Vapor Grounds (3pm)
