National Super League leaders Wazito will this afternoon be seeking to punch their way back to the Kenyan Premier League when they face Nairobi Stima at Camp Toyoyo.
A win for Wazito will see them seal one of the two automatic promotion slots with two matches to spare.
The Fred Ambani coached club have garnered 75 points, four ahead of second-placed Kisumu All-Stars and their matchday opponents, who are third and a win will see them take their tally to an unassailable 78.
Wazito could also be crowned the new champions should they switch off Stima and hope that Kisumu fall to Fortune Sacco. Ahead of the match, Ambani has predicted a tough match but he is optimistic that he will carry the day.
Ambani is elated to have trained with a full house squad after the return of the trio of Joe Waithira, Teddy Osok and Musa Masika rejoined the camp after being away with the national team.
"It's going to be a tough match as Stima will also be aiming at the three points. A win is equally important to them as they will be out to reduce the gap to a point but my players know what a win means to the team. I am happy we trained as a unit making it easier for me to plan for the game well. The three are important players who their return is a big boost ahead of the match."
