That 1–0 loss at Mbaraki Sports Ground left a bitter taste, not only because of the result but also due to officiating decisions that sparked debate long after the final whistle.
Bidco United arrive with frustrations of their own.
Anthony Akhulia’s side were edged out 2–1 by Gor Mahia in their last outing, conceding a stoppage-time winner after taking an early first-half lead.
The defeat saw Bidco slip into the relegation zone, increasing the pressure ahead of this afternoon’s contest.
With Police chasing points to stay within touching distance of the league’s leading pack and Bidco fighting for survival, the stage is set for a high-intensity encounter.
Police head coach Nicholas Muyoti believes his side deserved more from the Bandari match and insists the team is close to fully adapting to his system.
“We played well and dominated most of the game, but we conceded a very cheap goal from a direct corner.
Still, I am happy with the performance, and I believe the players will soon fully adapt to our style of play,” said Muyoti.
On the opposite bench, Akhulia was left frustrated by the circumstances surrounding their loss to Gor Mahia, particularly the lengthy stoppage time that ultimately proved costly.
“There were not many stoppages in the game, especially in the second half, so I do not understand why nine minutes were added.
Five or even six minutes would have been understandable, but nine was too much. It felt like a strategy to allow the opponent to score, which they did with less than two minutes to go,” lamented Akhulia.
Akhulia also admitted his side lost their composure after conceding the equaliser.
“We gave them too much time on the ball in the second half and allowed them to bully us. We defended too deep, increased the risk of conceding, and eventually deviated from our game plan,” he added.
The match is scheduled to kick off at 4 pm East African Time.
