Coach Rodolfo Zapata has named a very strong side for the must win clash, as Ingwe tries to defend the trophy they won last season. Captain Duncan Otieno will pull the strings in the middle of the pack e alongside Said Tsuma, Ezekiel Seda and Whyvone Isuza.

Odera who has 12 goals will be a threat to the Sofapaka rear guard. The coach has however dropped Nigerian import Alex Orotomal who bagged a brace against Posta Rangers last weekend.

Ezekiel Owade will once again start in goal for the leopards and will be protected by towering center back Salim Abdalla.
