KPL: Sofapaka plotting to raid Nakumatt

Sofapaka are expecting a tough duel against new comers, Nakumatt FC in a Kenyan Premier League match on Saturday.

Fresh from thumping nine goals past a hapless Silver Bullets in the GOtv Shield round of 64, a fit Batoto ba Mungu will have a boost of confidence into the second leg of the league when they take on the Shoppers at Nyayo Stadium.

Sofapaka under coach Sam Ssimbwa are fifth on the log with 23 points, four clear off Nakumatt, who sit on ninth place. “Everybody is fit, no injury in the squad. Everybody is ready for the match but it is going to be a tough challenge considering that Nakumatt bought seven new players but we are ready," Ssimbwa told Goal.

Sofapaka have signed over a dozen new players including three Ugandans, Umar Kasumba (SC Villa), Feni Ali (URA) and Roger Aloro from The Saints.
