Coach Matano rallies KCB ahead of Murang'a SEAL clash

KCB FC will be aiming to return to winning ways this Sunday when they face Murang’a SEAL at the SportPesa Arena in Murang’a County.

The bankers, who currently sit tenth on the FKF Premier League table with six points, have recorded two wins in their last five matches and are determined to make a strong statement away from home.

Head Coach Robert Matano expressed optimism about his team’s readiness, saying the players have shown hunger and focus throughout the week.

“We have prepared well, and the mood in camp is positive. Murang’a SEAL is always a difficult opponent, especially at home, but we have worked on key areas that will give us an edge. The objective is clear: we want to collect all three points and build momentum,” said Matano.

With both sides eyeing an early-season boost, Sunday’s encounter promises end-to-end action as KCB looks to reassert its competitive edge and climb higher up the Premier League standings.

Team captain Humphrey Mieno echoed the coach’s confidence, highlighting the team’s unity and desire to bounce back.

“We know this match is important for us as a group. Everyone is motivated to give their best and fight for the badge. If we stay disciplined and take our chances, we can get the result we want,” Mieno remarked.

The team was initially scheduled to face Nairobi United in a midweek fixture, but the match has been postponed to a later date, giving Matano and his charges more time to fine-tune their tactics and rest ahead of the Murang’a trip.

KCB will also be boosted by the return of Francis Kahiro, who has rejoined the squad and is expected to play a key role in the attack. His pace and creativity will be crucial as the bankers look to break down Murang’a SEAL’s resilient defense.
