Speaking to www.goodmorningkenya.com<\/a>, Mr. Kimani said that his charges are in the right frame of mind and he expects a good game as they face Sofapaka.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018\u2019 Sofapaka is a good team and they boast of an experienced coach in the names of John Baraza who understands pretty well the terrain of local soccer. Besides the team has a blend of experience and upcoming players and this is a fact that as leopards we go into the match fully aware. However, our aim remains 3 points for that is what our fans expect of us\u2019\u2019 Kimani said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

On his part, John Baraza is ready to face Afc leopards after an eventful outing against Western Stima where the results went in his favor at 3;1. Sofapaka had a difficult first game of the season where they went down 1;0 against Bandari Fc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018\u2019I am happy with the team at hand, our signings the signings we made, Lawrence Juma from Gor and Mike Kibwage from Kcb have injected a new impetus in the team and the experience of veteran striker Paul Kiongera has added firepower upfront we expect a tough match from AFC who are enjoying a good form but we are going for the three points\u2019  said John Baraza.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The mood in the AFC leopards camp is at its all-time high. Ingwe\u2019s new signing from Homeboyz Fc is upbeat and yearning for his debut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
