Kenyan international Alvin ‘Buffa’ Otieno will be hoping to make an impressive debut for defending champions KCB against Mwamba in today’s Kenya Cup match at RFUEA Grounds.
The other match will feature last season’s runners up Kabras Sugar against Nondescripts at Kakamega Showground.
These are two rescheduled matches that were originally set to be played on January 8 but were postponed.
At the RFUEA Grounds, all eyes will be on Kenya Sevens star Otieno who will be donning KCB’s jersey for the first time having completed a move from Homeboyz in the full transfer window.
He has been handed a start on the right wing with Jacob Ojee starting on the left side.
