He reiterated that it is their only chance to win silverware this season as the league title is Kenya Police’s to lose.“We are equal to the task, that is why we are here. We have a lot of players who know what to do and the time to execute that in this competition. We really want to retain the cup again. The Premier League is almost gone, but then the Cup is what we have at hand,” he told Citizen Digital.Why Levin Odhiambo is yet to play for Gor MahiaThe two teams have met twice in the league this season.The first leg played at the Ulinzi Sports Complex ended in a 2-2 draw while the return leg, played in March at the Police Sacco grounds, saw Police thrash the soldiers 4-0.Otieno was in charge of the second-leg encounter, and he admits that they made a lot of mistakes in that game, mistakes which they have worked to rectify ahead of Saturday’s meeting.“The last time we made a lot of mistakes in our defence and conceded an early goal, which made us a little bit uncomfortable and my players panicked. We’ve been working through the ranks from defence, midfield through to the striking, and I can confidently say we are way better off,” he added.FKF Women’s Cup semis on Saturday, May 4, 2024:Kibera Soccer Ladies vs Zetech Sparks (Dandora Stadium, 12 pm)Ulinzi Starlets vs Kenya Police Bullets (Dandora Stadium, 3 pm)Storm brewing as Otieno raises KAFF interference concerns ahead of amputee AFCON##EDITORS_CHOICE##
