The accomplished tactician is confident they will play with less pressure in the remaining two matches.
Nzoia Sugar head coach Salim Babu says a lot can still happen in the Football Kenya Federation Premier League (FKFPL) title race with two matches remaining to the end of the season.
The Sugar Millers gave fans a scare on Saturday at Kasarani Annex but held on for three points against lowly-ranked Nairobi City Stars in a win that kept them in the title race.

FKFPL Nzoia Sugar edge City Stars to revive slim title hopes
The Sugar Millers showed true grit and determination as they fought back to beat City Stars.
While Nzoia Sugar remained in the third position on the log and two points off the top, they are disadvantaged as Gor Mahia and Tusker have a game in hand.
Despite the Sugar Millers’ unfancied position, coach Babu remains adamant that anything is possible.
“We are just two points behind now. But there are still two games to go, and anything can happen,” Babu said. “We will tackle the next one against KCB in our backyard. But I think we performed well against City Stars and were the better team.
“We should have won the game by a bigger margin, there was no danger and they played us from our mistakes to score their goals. But sometimes football works like that.”

Nzoia Sugar will be banking on their title rivals to drop points, especially favorites and second-placed Gor Mahia, who will still face hard-tackling City Stars in their last match.
The Sugar Millers will also play their last game away from home against Sofapaka, which the outfit will welcome, given their impressive run on the road.
