And the high expectation from their growing fans to produce a par excellence performance by grabbing all the three points at stake places puts the home side ahead of the visitors.

Coach hene, as he is referred to in football circles, may not boast of big names in his set up, but his ability to nurture and turn ordinary players into stars makes is what fans of the game would be looking out for.
