Mbungo laments festive schedule ahead of Ulinzi tie

Bandari FC are scheduled to play Ulinzi Stars on Wednesday 29 December with head coach Andre Casa Mbungo lamenting the festive schedule. 

The Dockers have slipped out of the early title race following four successive draws and currently sit sixth on the log with 16 points from nine games.

Bandari are set to host Ulinzi Stars in Mombasa four days after Christmas and three days to the new year with Mbungo noting that the timing will make the clash tougher. 

“The game will be a very tricky encounter because it will be deep into the festivities which makes it a bit hard for us. We will however prepare well for the encounter and try to get a win,” explained the former AFC Leopards head coach.

The fixture list has been kind to Bandari as they played Kariobangi Sharks at the Mbaraki Sports Club and host Ulinzi Stars and Gor Mahia in their subsequent games.

Despite the run of four stalemates, Bandari enjoys a six-game unbeaten run and have only a solitary loss against Posta Rangers this season. Ulinzi have however dominated their head to head against Bandari having won 10 of their past 21 matches with the Dockers emerging victorious only thrice.
