Tusker will play Wazito at the Muhoroni Stadium tomorrow.
Tusker FC captain Humphrey Mieno has warned his teammates to be mentally prepared to face Wazito at a ‘hostile environment’, the Muhoroni Stadium on Sunday.
The Brewers will be seeking to maintain their slender one-point lead over Gor Mahia by getting all three points against a rejuvenated Wazito, who are scrambling to stay in sixteenth place to qualify for the relegation playoffs.
“We are psyched up and ready to go because we know how important this game is to us coming to the close of the season, ” Mieno said.
