On the other hand, Bandari, who have lost just two matches this season, will aim to start the new year on a high note after a 2-0 defeat to AFC Leopards in their final match of 2024.
Currently in seventh place, Ken Odhiambo’s charges were previously dominating the top four spots and will be looking to bounce back from a run of four winless matches.
With 22 points from 14 matches, Odhiambo is confident that his players are now fully fit after the December break, which allowed them to recover from injuries.
“We know the match against Tusker won’t be easy, but we’ve prepared well,” said Odhiambo to Citizen Digital. “Every player must be brave and sharp. With God’s help, we hope to get a win,” he added.
“Injured players like Onjunga are back in the squad after the break, except for Edward Satulo, Robert Onyango, and Captain Andrew Juma, who are all dealing with long-term injuries. But I’m confident we’ll soon have a full squad,” Odhiambo remarked.
