Migori Youth FC travel to the dreaded Gusii Stadium for a big clash against Shabana FC in the National Super League (NSL) on Sunday.Youth’s coach Kevin Oluoch is calling on his side to be mentally prepared for a hostile crowd at Gusii Stadium and focus on the job at hand.”We know what to expect, we have played against them on several occasions, and whenever we meet it’s always explosive,” the former Gor Mahia defender told Mozzart Sport.##NAJAVA_MECA_7324586##”We are aware of the massive support Shabana enjoys at Gusii Stadium, but we’re not intimidated,” Oluoch added.Shabana has made Gusii a fortress especially this season which has witnessed a massive return of fans to the stands.So much will be at stake as both sides are chasing promotion to the Football Kenya Federation Premier (FKFPL) next season.While Shabana are second on the log, level on 61 points with Murang’a Seal, who have played a game more, Migori slipped to the fourth spot after Mara United drubbed Silibwet FC 7-0 in a questionable match played on Monday.Migori had expressed doubts over the game that was suspected to be fixed, but Oluoch says that’s for the administration to deal with.Nairobi City Stars ace content with season’s performance, eyes a better 2023-24 campaign”As players and technical bench, we’re not getting into that. Our focus is to pick maximum points against Shabana, and we have prepared well for that,” Oluoch said.To feel home, away from home, the County government has organized transport for Migori Youth fans on Sunday.”We’re grateful for the gesture. We desire to create an environment that will be conducive for our boys not to feel intimidated,” a grateful Oluoch offered.With Mara playing on Saturday against Assad, depending on the outcome, pressure will be on Migori Youth to get a positive result against Shabana.With the first and second positions increasingly getting out of reach, the third spot, which guarantees a FKFPL relegation playoff chance is the best route left for Mara and Migori to gain promotion.
