Ulinzi Stars FC head coach Dunstan Nyaudo is determined to derail Kenya Police FC’s title charge, although he admits that the Disciplined Forces Derby will be anything but easy.The two teams are set to clash on Friday at the Ulinzi Sports Complex, with both sides desperate for points. League leaders Kenya Police will be aiming to stretch their advantage at the summit, while Ulinzi, who are not yet safe from relegation, are fighting to secure their top-flight status.##NAJAVA_MECA_8859998##The Soldiers have suffered defeats in their last three league matches and face a huge task in overcoming the Law Enforcers. Nyaudo is fully aware of the magnitude of the challenge.“It is not going to be an easy game because it is a derby, but we have prepared for it. At this point, every game is do or die. If we don’t win, the risk of dropping further down the table is high, so we are taking this match very seriously. All we want is a win,” he told the club media.Bakari confident as Kenya U17 chases World Cup dream“As you know, we are not in a very good position in the league right now. We are in 13th position, and the team we are going to face is not an easy one — they are currently top of the table. For me, it’s all about going to work, work, work to get a result.”Nyaudo also pointed out the team’s scoring problems, which he admits are a concern. Last weekend, they beat Bidco United 2-0 in the Mozzart Bet Cup Round of 16, and he hopes the goals will keep coming on Friday.“We have not been scoring goals, and when we were preparing for the Mozzart Bet Cup, we focused on how to score. That’s the same emphasis we are carrying into this match. Goals win games, and we have to score.”He further lifted the lid on the team’s lack of depth. He revealed that four players are currently injured, and the situation worsened when three others — Javan Omondi, Telana Ochieng, and Brian Emilio — were called up to the Kenya U20 AFCON squad.KCB still maintaining faith of lifting maiden FKF Premier League title this season”Our biggest challenge at the moment is that we are operating with a squad of 20 to 23 players. We have three players in the national team who have travelled to Egypt, and four others are injured — including my first-choice goalkeeper. But I am comfortable because Ulinzi has always had good keepers, and I believe Isa (Emuria) will represent us well.”Club captain Boniface Muchiri and fellow attacker Yakeen Muteheli are both doubtful for the game. The duo combined on Sunday to send Ulinzi into the cup quarterfinals, with Muchiri assisting both goals scored by Muteheli.“Muchiri is doubtful, and Yakeen is also a doubt after picking up a knock in the last game. We are waiting on the medical report. We have never won a match at this ground — the best we’ve managed is a draw — but I’m looking forward to securing our first win here against Police.”Kick-off is set for 1 PM.New Gor Mahia Secretary General fires warning to foreign players
