Police have a chance to finish second in the 2022/23 FKFPL season.

Kenya Police head coach Francis Baraza believes that it is “imperative and crucial” that his charges get all the three points in their remaining two games of the season.

Police will face Vihiga Bullets on Wednesday afternoon before rounding off the season with a meeting against KCB on Saturday.

The Soldiers are currently on 60 points, seven behind league leaders Gor Mahia which effectively means they cannot win the title, but stand a chance of finishing in the top two places as they sit five points behind second-placed Tusker.

“It is crucial to get all the remaining three points to give us a chance of at least finishing second at best or third at the least,” Baraza said.

“The hope is still there. Anything can happen between here because I am focusing on my own games and not other games. The league is a marathon and I will push to the very last minute.”

Under Baraza, Police have played 30 games, winning 17, drawing nine and losing just three fixtures after the club sacked Sammy Omollo “Pamzo” after losing their first two games of the season.

The club are currently fourth and on course to finish in their best ever position in the league, having finished a record ninth last season.

However, they could finish on 66 points and in second place if other results go their way in the last two league seasons.

Police will hope to be boosted by the return of Kenya interationals Abud Omar, Clifton Miheso, Charles Ouma and David Cheche Ochieng who were away on international duty in Mauritius for their assignment against Bullets, who they beat 4-1 comprehensively two months ago away in Mumias.
