The two sides will meet in an FKF Premier League match scheduled for Friday, 24 October at the Awendo Green Stadium from 1400 hrs.
The Sugar Millers head into the match on the back of a maiden victory this season, which came over 2010 league champions Ulinzi Stars, while their Thika-based counterparts suffered a 3-1 loss away to Kakamega Homeboyz.
Speaking to Mozzart Sport ahead of the Friday afternoon clash, Ochieng, who has played all the games for his side this campaign, shared what he believes will be a winning strategy.
“I believe that we have prepared well and are ready for the challenge. We will need to be at our best, starting with our defensive approach.
Bidco have scored in every game this season, which shows how strong their attack is, and so we must work hard to ensure we shut them down if we are to win,” said Ochieng.
Anthony Akhulia's men downed Kenyan giants Gor Mahia in their season opener before beating newbies Nairobi United prior to their loss to Homeboyz.
The former Zoo FC Youth midfielder went ahead to share the second aspect of the game they must execute to secure victory.
“We must also utilise our chances and have that killer punch to kill off the game, which was our major undoing in the first two matches.”
The former APS Bomet man also shared the importance of Mara Sugar’s victory over Ulinzi Stars, which condemned the military side to their first loss of the season.
“The away win to Ulinzi brought a lot of confidence in the team and a confirmation that we have been doing the right thing in terms of training and preparations.
Now that we already have a win under our belt, we are all determined to do even better and record our first home win of the season,” he stated.
Mara are currently 12th on the 18-team log while their opponents are seventh ahead of the round five fixtures.
