Kenya Premier League side KCB FC will be back in action this weekend as the Bernard Mwalala-led team tackles seventh-placed Posta Rangers FC at the Sportpesa Arena in Murang’a County.
The Bankers have been impressive in the FKF-Cup cruising 4-2 past Kariobangi Sharks on penalties to set up a final date against Police FC later this month.

“The recent wins in the FKF-Cup are indeed a great confidence booster. As we approach the final matches of the season, maintaining that positive momentum and confidence will be crucial. We have trained well for Posta so, I believe we are in a strong position to compete effectively,” reckoned KCB FC Head Coach Bernard Mwalala.
With three matches left to play in the 2023/2024 Kenya Premier League season, KCB will be keen to bag maximum points against Posta, AFC Leopards and City Stars to finish at a respectable position in the log.

As it stands, the FKF-Cup finalists are sitting 11th in the table garnering 40 points after 31 matches played where the team has won once in the last five outings, picking a draw once while losing on three occasions.
The team played a friendly match against champions Gor Mahia over the weekend where they won 4-2 – Mwalala says his boys are oozing confidence after the victory.
“We won over a well-oiled team over the weekend so I believe we are in a good position to claim the three points against Posta Rangers. We know their threat in offense and defense but, we are ready to beat them. We anticipate a tough match. However, a win can only be the only foreseeable result,” added Mwalala.

Mwalala is expected to make minimal changes to his squad that started against Sharks in the FKF Cup Striker Derrick Otanga, and Philemon Nyakwakwa are expected to pair up upfront while the diamond midfield of Henry Onyango, Brian Ochieng and Danson Namasaka is expected to start.
At the back, goalkeeper Farouk Shikhalo, Kevin Okumu, Haniff Wesonga, Francis Onyango, and Herit Mungai will feature for the Ruraka-based side.
