In recent times, it has been rare for the league to enter the midseason break without a coach losing his job over poor results.

Muhoroni Youth coach Francis Baraza could be on his way out if he does not win against KCB this weekend when they duke it out for three points at the Moi International Sports Centre, Kasarani.

Going into this tie, he is a worried man since his team has not scored in the last four games in the process conceding six goals. Their poor performance on the road that has seen them bag only four points in seven away games puts the tin lid on the four match losing streak.

A barren draw in May against City Stars is the only positive they can draw from their Nairobi visits so far but the visitors will draw confidence from their double over the bankers last season.

With only a point separating the two teams on the log, KCB will palpably set their sights on three points in order to vault their opponents on the standings as well as vacate the relegation dungeons.

School boy defending has cost them crucial points, the latest being the 2-1 loss to Ushuru after leading 1-0 at half time, and stand in manager Elvis Ayany will have to address such loopholes well aware that the predatory Muhoroni skipper Abbas Akinyemi can punish his team at the slightest mistake.

The match is slated for 1330hrs EAT on Saturday.
