Talanta FC seek to extend their lead at top of the National Super League log when they face Migori Youth at Migori Stadium.
The Ken Kenyatta-coached side lead the log with 40 points from 21 games, three better than second-placed Kenya Police and four better than third-placed Shabana FC. Shabana and Kenya Police meet on Saturday in a highly-anticipated clash.
Yesterday, Migori Youth coach Wilson Aol admitted that the game against Talanta will be a tough one.
“We played 10 days ago and drew 0-0 but since we are playing at home, we have an added advantage. It will be an open game because both teams want maximum points,” noted Aol.
However, ahead of the return leg, the boys are fresh and excited about facing the Talanta. We want to pick maximum points because we are not in a very good position,” said Aol.
He said Talanta will be under pressure in the game because Kenya Police and Shabana are breathing on their neck.
