FKF PL: Struggling Ulinzi eye first victory against lukewarm Posta Rangers

Stephen Awino 09:00 - 27.10.2024

Ulinzi Stars will be desperate for their first win of the season when they travel away to a Posta Rangers side that has had a mixed start to the season.

Ulinzi Stars will head to Machakos Stadium on Sunday afternoon looking to secure their first win of the season against Posta Rangers in the Football Kenya Federation Premier League (FKF PL).

After a disappointing start to the campaign, the Soldiers sits in the relegation zone, with an abysmal three points from five games.

The Dunstan Nyaundo-coached side has had difficulty converting chances, netting only a meager three goals this season.

Two of those goals came in their 2-2 draw with Shabana in September and a recent 1-1 draw in Wednesday's midweek action against Tusker FC, where substitute Brian Kafero equalized to earn the Defense Forces a point at the Police Sacco Stadium.

Ulinzi's three draws and two losses reflect a side struggling to find momentum, and they will be looking for a shift in fortunes on Sunday.

Standing in their way is Posta Rangers, a team that also has mixed results this season.

The Mailers sit just above Ulinzi in 15th place with five points, tallying one win, two draws, and two losses.

The Bernard Kawinzi-coached side faced a similar challenge in their midweek fixture, where they scored early against Mara Sugar at the Awendo Stadium but conceded in the 83rd minute to settle for a 1-1 draw.

The Mailers have equally scored just three goals while conceding a staggering eight, signaling issues at both ends of the pitch.

Both sides are desperate to turn their seasons around with a win.

A victory for Ulinzi could not only lift them out of the relegation zone but also allow them to leapfrog Posta on the log.

On the other hand, three points for Posta could propel them higher in the standings, providing a much-needed morale boost.

Shabana were denied first victory by a resilient Kariobangi Sharks in a 1-1 stalemate at the same venue.
