The fight to stay in the Football Kenya Federation Premier League (FKFPL) continues on Monday when FC Talanta faces KCB at Dandora Stadium.With Nzoia already relegated to the National Super League, teams hanging dangerously above the red zone will seek to register positive results and survive.Among those at the danger of following Nzoia to the second tier is Talanta who have been struggling since suspending veteran coach Ken Kenyatta, winning only one of their last seven matches.The team will head to today’s clash seeking to not only redeem itself but march closer to safety.##NAJAVA_MECA_8109820##Ahead of the match, experienced defender Geoffrey Shiveka has called for maximum concentration from his teammates in the game.Shiveka says the team cant afford a lapse in concentration in the clash as KCB have proven themselves in taking advantage of such situations and punishing teams.”The team is okay, save for concentration lapses that have been our biggest undoing. We have been losing many balls in the middle of the park, which teams then use to hit us. I think this is down to inexperience because we have some young players in the team, and we have to change that going forward,” Shiveka said.On the other hand, KCB, who are under the guidance of Benard Mwalala, will be seeking to return to winning ways following a string of poor results that have seen them drop out of the top ten.The bankers have managed only one win in their last seven games.A win for KCB would move them closer to the top ten, trailing tenth-placed Bidco United by four points, while a victory for Talanta would elevate them to fourteenth place with 34 points, pushing Sofapaka down to fifteenth.Nzoia Sugar officially relegated to National Super LeagueUlinzi Stars vs Murang’a SealThe Ulinzi Sports Complex will host the clash between twelfth-placed Murang’a Seal and thirteenth-ranked Ulinzi Stars, with the teams separated by just a point.Seal goes to the match without a win in their last five games, having suffered defeats to Tusker, champions Gor Mahia, and Nairobi City Stars while drawing against Kariobangi Sharks and relegation-threatened Muhoroni Youth.Fortune Sacco’s Elias Mugane reflects on team’s resilience after FKFPL promotion nullificationUlinzi Stars, although not in the best form, have picked up two wins in their last six games and are unbeaten in their last three matches.They will look to build on their 1-0 triumph against Bidco in a mid-week clash and aim to leapfrog Murang’a in the standings.
