Several players with little game time were preferred in the clash against Bidco.
Ulinzi Stars assistant coach Vincent 'Moriero' Otieno has explained some of the changes in their lineup after key players were rested in the 3-0 away loss to Bidco United.
It was a game where the attack struggled in the absence of Hillary Simiyu and Boniface Muchiri, as other regulars also did not make the matchday squad.

After the match, Otieno explained some tactical tweaks he and the technical team made and why Lucas Maina, Mark Bikokwa, Elly Saenyi, and Peter Wafula made rare appearances on Monday.
"(Lucas) Maina did his best compared to the others who have not been regulars and he has a lot to offer to the team," Otieno told Pulse Sports.
"Muchiri and Simiyu got some knocks in our last game, which is why we saw it could be riskier if they took to the field."
