National Super League (NSL) leaders Fortune Sacco will be focused on opening a five-point gap at the apex of the standings when they take on Shabana on Sunday at the Awendo Green Stadium.Fortunes have been in favour of the Kirinyaga-based team as they are two points ahead of second-placed APS Bomet who are not in action this weekend and a win over the resurgent Shabana will see them sit at the top comfortably.Fortune head coach Nicodemus Omasete earlier on admitted that picking maximum points at Awendo will not be a walk in the park owing to Shabana’s recent run.”It is definitely going to be a tough game because Shabana is an old team, a seasoned giant of Kenyan football and you always expect a hard match when you face them, especially at their backyard. They also have an experienced coach in Sammy Okoth and we definitely anticipate a hard-fighting Shabana,” he said.Matchday: ✅ ✊ LET’S GO! pic.twitter.com/nMId6fjOuF— Shabana Fc Kenya (@Shabanafckenya) March 20, 2022 Omasete who also doubles up as a player at the club was however confident of grinding out positive results the hard way. He said they had done their homework well and urged his players to meticulously execute the plan as drafted in training.”That said, we have also prepared well for the game, we understand their style of play and we know how best to counter them. We have met five times in the league before and we’ve won three of the encounters and we are determined to get another win on Sunday,” he stated.While Fortune will be gunning to steer clear of the chasing pack, Shabana will be hoping to make good use of home advantage and move to two points within the reach of the matchday opponents.NSL: Shame as referees fail to show up for Muhoroni vs Murang’a Seal matchThe Glamour Boys have been firing from all cylinders since Okoth took over last month having grabbed three straight wins under the former Vihiga United boss.In other matches, debutants Naivas will host Mombasa Elite at Camp Toyoyo while Silibwet Leons will be at home to welcome Migori Youth.
