The two teams played to a barren draw in the first leg of this encounter in Kisumu. This will be the second league meeting between the two teams, with the first one ending in a barren draw in the first leg of the season on opening day.Since then, Bidco have grown more so in character to battle it out with the big boys in the league, producing spectacular results including wins against Tusker FC and AFC Leopards, and a league double over Nairobi City Stars, Vihiga United, and Mathare United.Western Stima have somehow overcome their bad start to the season, but they have not done enough to get themselves off the relegation thick, with the most recent loss to Vihiga United being a big blow in their quest to survive the chop.📈| @BidcoUnited and @WesternStima_fc on the log ahead of their clash#BKPL pic.twitter.com/Q6Dx00vrD6— Betking Kenya Premier League (@Officialfkfpl) July 29, 2021 However, coach Abdallah Juma is hopeful that they stand the chance to avoid relegation and is confident that they will shake off the Vihiga defeat when they play Posta.”We are still hopeful because we have two home matches and I know we will play them at Kisumu after Covid restrictions are lifted. I am sure we are going to recover when we play Bidco at Thika because we cannot leave it that way, there has been a lot of pressure from everywhere,” Juma said.Stima have failed to record back-to-back wins at any instance in the league this season, but have also been impressive against some of the big teams, beating Gor Mahia and collecting maximum points in their encounter against AFC Leopards this season.Mathematically, Bidco are safe from a direct drop and it would mean that Vihiga United win all their matches with the debutants losing all of theirs for them to drop to 16th, a relegation play-offs position.It’s MATCHDAY 🤗🏆 @FKFPLG⚽ Western Stima vs Bidco United🗓️ Sunday, November 29, 2020🏟️ Moi Stadium, Kisumu⏲️ 3 pm#Ready4Whatever pic.twitter.com/lOq8FbHBeB— Bidco United (@BidcoUnited) November 29, 2020 Bidco will be without Lambert Oyuga and David Kalama who are out on suspension after picking red cards against Nairobi City Stars and Bandari respectively while Stima will be without Kennedy Owino who is suspended after accumulating five yellow cards.Their tactician, Anthony Akhulia will also be on the stands as he was red carded in the scuffle against Nairobi City Stars, and his assistant Simon Wagema is expected to be on the touchline.Bidco are 11th on the log with 35 points, while Stima sit 15th with 21 points, just one above 16th placed Vihiga United.
