Relegation-troubled Muhoroni Youth midfielder Kevin Okoth is counting on home advantage in their quest to remain in the FKF Premier League for at least another season.The Muhoroni-based outfit has not had the fairest return to the top-tier league, spending the majority of the season in the relegation zone.After 31 rounds of league fixtures, the side has meager five wins and is now ranked 17th in the eighteen-team league standings with 28 points.Season over for Sharks defender following injury in Mozzart Bet Cup tieThey are one point behind Shabana FC, who are currently in the play-off spot, and three points shy of 15th-placed FC Talanta, who are in the safety zone.With league action returning in a fortnight after the domestic cup semi-finals and FIFA International break, all eyes will be on the bottom end of the table to see which team will join Nzoia Sugar, whose fate was sealed prior to the break.Muhoroni Youth, FC Talanta, and Sofapaka are all battling to avoid relegation to the second-tier league.In their final fixtures, Muhoroni host FC Talanta, then travel to Kakamega County to face already-relegated Nzoia Sugar FC before hosting Posta Rangers on the season’s last day.Certainly, with two home games remaining before the season ends, Muhoroni has an excellent opportunity to secure automatic safety.##NAJAVA_MECA_8130253##It’s with this that Okoth is banking on the fact that they will be able to capitalize on their home advantage.”When you look at the standings, we’re not doing too badly to stay in the league. We are fortunate to have two league games at home, and I believe that if we can collect six points, we will stay in the league next season,” said the former Sofapaka midfielder.The seasoned attacking midfielder agrees that the three-week break was necessary and will undoubtedly help them return rejuvenated in their final push of the season.”The FIFA break came at the appropriate time, given that we had fixture congestion before the rest. I feel it will be beneficial for us to recover and concentrate on loose ends as we seek to resume and finish the campaign stronger,” remarked the former Tusker creative midfielder.Before the break,Gor Mahia won the league for a record 21 time following their 3-0 trouncing of Muhoroni Youth at Sport Pesa Arena, Murang’a.
