Our main problem was defending in that we were scoring early but lapses in defending later in the game have seen us concede and lose the three points but we have taken this time to work on that. We had some injuries before the break that everyone is back and we have every player up for selection apart from Okanda (Felicien) who has left the team. We are yet to lose a match a home this season and I hope that the boys continue that streak today,” Babu told Mozzart Sport.The two sides are sixth and seventh on the table, with Nzoia having a three-point advantage over Ulinzi on 35 points as compared to 32 for Bernard Mwalala’s charges.Omar Mbongi returns to Ulinzi Stars barely a month after announcing retirementBarely a month after announcing his exit, Omar Mbongi returned to the fold for the four-time champions last week following the injury of Michael Clive Otieno and he is set to be thrust straight into the starting lineup.While a win for Ulinzi will only see them topple Nzoia and perhaps AFC Leopards depending on the magnitude of the victory, a win for the host will see them return to second place head of the other matches set to be played on Wednesday.
