The Slum Boys are looking to claw Ingwe and dent their top four chances.

Mathare United are determined to return to winning ways when they take on AFC Leopards in the Football Kenya Federation Premier League on Wednesday.

The Slum Boys are in need of maximum points following their narrow 1-0 loss against Kakamega Homeboyz on Sunday.

United head coach John Kamua has described the fixture as 'good headache' because of the importance it carries.

The fixture could either complicate or inch the Slum Boys closer to securing top-flight survival. The former league champions are currently 10th in the 18-team league with 37 points, with four matches left.

"This is a good headache for us. Games are coming in thick and fast as we draw closer to the end of the season. We have a stern test against AFC Leopards, which I view as a golden chance to rectify Saturday’s defeat and return to winning ways,” Kamau told Mozzart Sports.

Mathare United will be keen to avenge the 4-0 loss in the reverse fixture and a win will be a morale booster for the team ahead of season defining fixtures.

As for Ingwe, a win will boost their chances of finishing in the top four after falling down the pecking order lately.

Mathare’s tricky run-in includes encounters against four-time champions Ulinzi Stars, 2019 Mozzart Bet Cup winners Bandari FC, and basement side Nairobi City Stars.

Two wins from the remaining four matches will be enough to guarantee safety for Mathare United.
