Eldoret, ranked eleventh on the 20-team log with 31 points, 20 below third-placed Wazito, have no injury fears following the return from the sick bay of defenders George Onyango and Reuben Wanyonyi.
Wazito coach Fred Ambani, whose side dropped to third position after battling to a goalless draw with leaders Ushuru last week, admits they are not under pressure to resume top spot.
“It will be a tough game but the boys know that we just need to work hard and smart and everything else will fall into place,” said Ambani who thumped their opponents 2-0 in the first leg meeting at Camp Toyoyo grounds.
