After settling for a barren draw at Ruaraka Grounds last weekend, Ulinzi Stars and Nairobi City Stars lock horns again at the same ground, this time the Soldiers playing host in a Football Kenya Federation top-flight match.The four-time champions managed to salvage a draw against a high-flying City Stars side, with Benjamin Nyangweso stating that the performance in the draw showed that the team had improved having come from Kakamega Homeboyz’s 4-0 drubbing.With the Ulinzi Sports Complex in Lang’ata opened last week, the expectation was that the match would have been held there and the teams had even gone ahead to communicate the same only for a last-minute change to be done to indicate otherwise.The draw last week dented second-place hopes for Simba wa Nairobi and the same will not be possible with a win in this match, perhaps in the remaining matches of the season.Nicholas Muyoti said that his side did not create enough chances in the reverse fixture, adding that it was an area that they needed to rectify before Monday’s game.MATCHDAY 🥊FKF-PL | Round 26🗓 | 18th April 2022🆚 Ulinzi FC🏆 | FKF-PL ⏰ | 1500 EAT🏟 | Ruaraka GroundsBETTER MUST COME#𝕊𝕚𝕞𝕓𝕒𝕎𝕒ℕ𝕒𝕚𝕣𝕠𝕓𝕚COME ONE COME ALL #OperationJazaStadi pic.twitter.com/LpKhSGCBeA— Official Nairobi City Stars Fc (@NrbCityStars) April 18, 2022 Ulinzi will be in dire need of maximum points after being jumped by Nzoia Sugar and dropping to 15th on the log, just a place above the dropzone and know that a win would take them two places up.The return of James Saruni to the side was such a morale boost for Ulinzi Stars, according to Nyangweso, and they hope they can build on that in this match.The match kicks off at 3 PM EAT.
