Bandari will be out to protect their impressive start in the Sportpesa Premier League when they face win-less KCB on Saturday in Nairobi.

“We are prepared for our match against KCB. The banker’s coach Frank Ouna beat us last season when he was with Wazito, but we will not allow this to happen on Saturday,” said Bandari’s Technical Director Twahir Muhiddin.

The former Harambee Stars tactician said KCB who have lost their two opening matches will be hungry for victory against the dockers.

“The match will be tough as Bandari will be protecting their good run while KCB will be out to register their first win as the league enters its third week,” said Muhiddin.

He said all the players are in top form and ready to maintain the momentum on Saturday. “Our focus is always to win every match,” Muhiddin said.

Bandari started the new season by beating Gor Mahia 2-1 at Mbaraki Sports Club and went ahead to beat Sofapaka with the same margin in the second match.

Bandari lie third on the log while the bankers are 17th.

“We have sound structures in place and this will help us as we fight for glory in the league,” he said.
