Kakamega Homeboyz attacking midfielder Christopher Masinza has backed Homeboyz to bounce back to winning when Homeboyz play Bidco United on Saturday.Ahead of the FKF Premier League matchweek 29 fixture, Homeboyz will be seeking to put an end to their winless streak that has lasted five matches, with the latest being a 2-1 loss to Kenya Police FC at the Mumias Sports Complex.##NAJAVA_MECA_8097023##Homeboyz’s season took a tragic turn a fortnight ago as their pursuit to win silverware hit a dead end following a shocking 1-0 loss to KCB in the Mozzartbet Cup competition.Coach Patrick Odhiambo and his troops last tasted victory in March against Ulinzi Stars, where they defeated the soldiers 2-0 courtesy of Hillary Otieno and Brian Chala’s goals.The latest bumpy ride has equally seen Homeboyz drop down the log to ninth, one place ahead of Bidco United.However, they will be facing a resurgent Bidco United side, who have been on an ascendancy streak, registering back-to-back victories in their most recent matches.NSL: Mathare sweeps aside Naivas to boost promotion credentialsLast weekend, the Thika-based side trounced relegation-troubled Muhoroni Youth 3-1 to mark their tenth win of the season.Additionally, the win saw the Antony Akhulia men increase their tally of points to 40, tied alongside Homeboyz, though the latter sits ahead due to the superior goal difference.Further, the oil markers will be aiming to avenge the first-leg defeat they suffered at Bukhungu Stadium in December last year.Despite the recent poor run, Masinza believes Homeboyz are capable of completing a double over Bidco.”It has been a challenging season for us, going by the results we’ve been posting. I think last weekend’s loss was due to the disappointment from Mozzart Bet Cup elimination; however, I’m confident we will turn around the misfortunes on Saturday, and completing a double over Bidco will be a good result,” he told Mozzart Sport.The offensive attacking midfielder who can slot in at the right back equally states that Homeboyz can still end the season in a reputable position.”We are nine points short of Tusker FC, who are third. Mathematically, we stand a chance of finishing third, hoping our close challengers tumble in the closing matches of the season,” he added.FIFA U17 WCQ: Junior Starlets hold Ethiopia to set up second-leg deciderThe athletic attacker, who’s an elder brother to Masinza Junior, has largely had second-half cameos and four starts to show.Despite mostly being a second-half substitute, Masinza has two goals to his name and hopes he can contribute a couple of goals before the league ends.”The season has been a tedious one, but I am glad of my contributions to the team. I am hoping to score a couple of goals to boost my numbers and propel the team towards a better finish,” concluded the soft-spoken midfielder.
