“We have prepared well for the match. It won’t be easy, but the girls have really done well in training and we expect good results,” Kanyi said.

Starlets will welcome back top scorer Neddy Atieno and captain Wendy Achieng’, who were rested in the 1-0 win over Swaziland.

“The squad is full house and we are really looking forward to the match. We have worked on a few challenges we had in the previous matches, like converting our chances,” said Kanyi.
