FKFPL Odera outlines how Wazito can survive relegation

Mark Kinyanjui 07:36 - 03.05.2023

Wazito have won their last two league fixtures, having struggled to find a win in any of their previous 19 encounters.

Wazito FC head coach Charles Odera will treat every remaining match 'like a final' if they are to stand a chance of surviving relegation this season.

The Muhoroni-based outfit have picked up form at the right moment, winning each of their last two games against Ulinzi Stars and Sofapaka, having failed to win the first 19 matches of Odera’s reign.

That form has enabled them to get 19 points after 27 matches played, but still need eight points to get out of the relegation places.

“The boys are motivated after winning the last two games. But now, we have to separate boys from men. Every game now is a final. 

"There is a camaraderie within the side now. Everyone wants to fight for the team and die for each other. The wins have injected confidence into the team moving forwards. ” Odera said.

Fellow relegation candidates, Mathare United announced the appointment of Collins Korea Omondi as their head coach and he will be tasked with steering the club away from relegation.

Odera however, insists that his side is only focused on what they can control and not what other teams are doing to help them achieve their objectives.

“We are not thinking about Mathare, we are thinking about the other 18 teams. Our focus is squarely on Kakamega Homeboyz tomorrow.

“We are focused squarely on our own games. If we win our games, we will survive the league. We are not thinking about Mathare United.

The former APS Bomet tactician has also given the club’s injury updates ahead of their clash against Kakamega Homeboyz at the Bukhungu Stadium on Wednesday.

“Our first choice keeper Owade was unlucky. He picked up an injury but he is doing well and recovered, but Muthomi has been doing well since stepping in and has not made any case to be dropped.

Otherwise, everyone else should be available.”
