Despite not winning any of their games this season, Mathare United head coach John Kamau is optimistic that they will break that duck on Friday.

Mathare opens round five of the FKF Premier League action against Bidco United at the Dandora Stadium having lost two and drawn two of their first four games since returning to the Kenyan top flight but Kamau is confident of their chances against the Oilmakers.

“The word must-win, do away with it, but I can assure you I can feel it (the first win), don’t be surprised if we get our first win against Bidco United, I can feel it, I can smell it, I am more relaxed than ever, something good is cooking up for this great club and I don’t want to panic yet because of how we have started the season,” Kamau told Flashscore.

When tasked to explain why they were struggling and their fellow newbies Mara Sugar were thriving, Kamau said:

“One thing I can say is I am more than happy with the progression because there have been a lot of talks about Mathare United got promoted together with Mara Sugar (who are doing well so far in the league) but if you look at Mara Sugar I think they never lost any player and if they did so, it is one or two players.

“So for them (Mara) their team building they did it at National Super League (NSL) but you see with us (Mathare) it is a different ball game, a different coach, different players, so it is like we are starting afresh but I can assure coming on board I have a way that I would like to see my team plays and that is possession-based football.”

Mathare kicked off their campaign with a 4-0 thrashing against AFC Leopards, snatched their first point in a 0-0 draw against Kakamega Homeboyz, drew 1-1 against struggling Sofapaka before suffering a 4-0 defeat against reigning champions Gor Mahia.
