I hope that when we win a match, we will be able to win every match from there,” a brief Ken Kenyatta said.In the second match, Nzoia will be seeking to avenge the first leg 3-0 drubbing at Sudi at a time when they were struggling and Posta were flying high, with the Mailmen stuttering at the moment since Stanley Okumbi left the side.A win for Nzoia in this match would see them move past Wazito on the log, and coach Salim Babu believes in his charges to deliver as he seeks to guide the team to safety.”The team is ready for the game and the morale is high. Nzoia is building on one game at a time. Our main objective is to ensure that we remain in the Premier League at the end of the season. We know how much this game means to us and we will take all that into consideration. Once we step out of the position we are in, we will not go back there but we will instead move up,” Babu told Mozzart Sport.On the other hand, a win for Posta would take them to the top five depending on the results from the other matches of the day, specifically in the two matches involving Gor Mahia and Kariobangi Sharks.
