Kakamega Homeboyz head coach Bernard Mwalala anticipates a tough outing when his side comes up against FC Talanta on Sunday afternoon at the Ruaraka Grounds.The tie is a must-win for the Kakamega based club as anything other than maximum points and a Tusker win over Bidco United in Thika will all but end Homeboyz’s hopes of clinching their first-ever league title in a season that they were at the helm of the log for over 80% of the campaign.##NAJAVA_MECA_6437781##Their recent capitulation has seen Tusker close in on them and the Brewers now lead the log on goal-difference. Both teams are tied on 57 points but the Robert Matano-led outfit have the goal-difference advantage, an upper hand that could win them the league if the two teams will register even results in the remaining two league assignments. The 2021/22 season comes to a close in a week’s time.Next Assignment:Away trip to FC Talanta this coming Sunday.(Venue to be communicated in due course)#AbanaBeingo #MozzartBet#wearehomeboyz pic.twitter.com/eYJl56o6Ug— Kakamega Homeboyz FC (@FcHomeboyz) June 1, 2022 Ahead of Sunday’s game, the tactician admits that the match will be a tough one. The Ken Kenyatta led team was the first team to beat Homeboyz this season and they did it at their Bukhungu Stadium in Kakamega. A double over the title challengers is something that the former Ushuru FC coach will be relishing. Mwalala expects a tough but competitive game”Talanta game is a tough one. As you remember they were the first team to beat us this season they did it at home and as such we expect a good time from them, they are very competitive and that means we have to beat our best, be ready to counter their threats and make our chances count,” he told Mozzart Sport.On his team’s title chances, the former Kenyan international remains upbeat.”Anything can happen in football and so as long as we still have a fighting chance we are going to give our best to the final end, it’s still winnable and we are not going to give up,” he added.The match kicks off at 3 PM.
