Ingwe coach Patrick Aussems believes his side have not been clinical in front of goal and has urged the team to finish off the chances they create.
“Look, I am not happy because if we don’t score from the chances we create where else can we get our goals from?” Aussems posed a question to Goal. “We must learn to use the chances that we create.
“Against Gor Mahia, we created a number of chances but my strikers failed to utilise them but Gor got one chance and it gave them three points, it is a concern and we must rectify that against Bandari.”
Probable XI for AFC Leopards: Muchesia, Bandi, Munene, Mudenyu, Kipyegon, Wanyama, Sunguti, Thiong'o, Nabwire, Musa, Olilo.
Match Preview
While Bandari suffered a surprise 2-0 home defeat against Posta Rangers in their last league assignment, AFC Leopards also lost 1-0 to rivals Gor Mahia in the Mashemeji derby.
Last season, Bandari won the home game 2-1 but they suffered a 2-0 defeat in the second meeting while in the previous season, the two sides battled to a 2-2 draw in the first meeting while the second round fixture was cancelled owing to the outbreak of coronavirus pandemic in the country.
In the 2019 season, Bandari humiliated AFC Leopard 4-0 in the first meeting game at Mbaraki Stadium but Ingwe recovered to beat the Dockers 2-1 in the second-round meeting in Nairobi.
While Bandari are fourth on the 18-team table with six points from three matches, AFC Leopards are placed 10th after accumulating four points from three outings.
