We all know how massive these three points would be for us. We will not leave anything behind. What we promise our fans is a fight till the last whistle. For our fans, come in huge numbers and push the team from the first whistle to the very last,” Omasete told the club's media.Tusker receive injury boost ahead of Bandari clash as midfielder returnsMombasa United vs Shabana FCAt the coastal city of Mombasa, league newbies Mombasa United will take on Shabana FC at the KPA Sports Club, Mbaraki, from 1400 hrs.The Sultans have had a difficult start to the season, failing to win any of their opening five matches and finding themselves at the bottom of the log with one point, making them early relegation candidates.Mombasa United will therefore be in a desperate search for their maiden win of the season and will be out to maximize their home advantage to propel them to victory.On their part, Shabana will be out to arrest their four-match winless streak, having failed to bag three points since their 1-0 win in the opening match of the season.Shabana, who have largely been dominating play in their matches, must find a way of capping the performances with wins, with coach Ahmed Fathi already under pressure.The Glamour Boys will draw confidence from the fact that they have won all four matches that they have played against Mombasa United.##NAJAVA_MECA_10099931##Mara Sugar vs Migori YouthIn the other match of the day, Mara Sugar will welcome Mozzart Bet-backed Migori Youth at the William Ole Ntimama Stadium in Narok from 1500 hrs.Until this season, Mara Sugar had been hosting its home matches at Awendo Green Stadium, the home of Migori Youth, which has catalyzed the rivalry between the two sides.With both teams tied on six points, a win for either side could propel them up to fourth on the log standings.
