Robert Matano makes shock departure from Sofapaka for Tanzania stint
The former Sofapaka coach Robert Matano has parted ways with the club to pursue a new opportunity in Tanzania.
The Brewers, on the other hand, will be without their top scorer Ryan Ogam, who is on national duty with Harambee Stars in the Mapinduzi Cup in Zanzibar.
Nonetheless, Tusker's seasoned coach Charles Okere remains optimistic about his side’s chances, especially given their impressive 57% win rate this season.
Shabana, affectionately known as Tore Bobe, has transformed Gusii Stadium into a fortress after a shaky start to the campaign, and this match could define their mid-season momentum.
"We respect Shabana’s resurgence, especially at home, but we are Tusker FC, and our mentality is to win every match, no matter the circumstances," said Tusker coach Charles Okere ahead of the match.
"Even without Ryan, we have the depth and quality to get the job done."
