FKFPL Levin Odhiambo warns Tusker to brace for battle against reinvented KCB

Tusker FC's Levin Odhiambo anticipates a tough battle against KCB in an FKF Premier League match set to be played at Kenyatta Stadium in Machakos on Sunday afternoon.

Tusker FC wingback Levin Odhiambo is anticipating a challenging encounter against Kenya Commercial Bank (KCB) in the forthcoming FKF Premier League match set for Sunday evening at the Kenyatta Stadium in Machakos. 

Despite Tusker's dominant 5-0 victory in the first leg at the Police Sacco Stadium last month, Odhiambo urges a renewed mindset for the second leg.

"KCB has had some good signings in mid-season, and I believe when they come for this second leg, they will be a different team and tougher than the first leg. We have to be ready and not have the same mentality that it will be the same like the first leg," said Odhiambo

Tusker's approach to the game is buoyed by a recent 4-0 triumph on the road against Shabana, a victory that Odhiambo believes has significantly boosted team morale. 

"We want to continue from where we left off. We have had a good week in training, and everyone is looking ready. Going into the Shabana game, everyone wanted to win because of what happened in the first leg, and I believe the motivation from that victory will push us more into Sunday’s game," he added.

With Tusker currently positioned 6th on the leaderboard with 34 points, a victory against KCB could propel them to third place, intensifying the race for the league title. 

Odhiambo points out the critical nature of securing three points in the upcoming match to maintain pressure on the league leaders. 

He describes the current team mentality, where each match is approached with the seriousness of a final, emphasizing the dedication to excel.

The match against KCB represents more than just another league game for Tusker; it is a chance to demonstrate their growth and adaptability in the face of strengthened opponents.
