Only Migori United stand in the way of Wazito securing a place in next season's FKF Premier League

Wazito head coach Charles Odera has revealed that his boys are ready for the task ahead of them as they battle to survive the big ruthless jaws of relegation from the FKF Premier League.

The Muhoroni-based side's good run of form towards the end of the season enabled them to secure a promotion and relegation place, where they will face Migori Youth, who finished third in the National Super League.

Odera is expecting a tough battle against the side, with the first leg set to take place at the Migori Stadium on Saturday afternoon from 3 PM

“In the playoffs, there is nothing like a team played against better opposition having the better advantage,” Odera told Pulse Sports, “The only difference is that the FKFPL is tactical while the NSL is physical,” he added.

“We have to be ready for a tough physical battle. We cannot fear them both home and away. We will fight tooth and nail to ensure we do well.”

Wazito have not played competitively for the last three weeks following the end of the regular season, so have taken part in some friendly matches to keep their match sharpness in check.

Odera believes the matches have helped them maintain match-sharpness.

“ We knew that we would not play for a while competitively so we decided to play some friendlies to keep our match sharpness in check. The boys are ready.

The team currently have no one unavailable, something Odera is thankful for.

“We thank God no one is injured or unavailable. Ever since the first leg, we have not suffered from suspensions, injuries or absenteeism for personal reasons.
