On his side, his Modern Coast Rangers counterpart Mohammed Mchule said that despite many injuries in his squad, they have only one goal in mind as they continue to battle for their place in the country’s second division.

“It’s a relegation battle and anything can happen in the derby, but we hope for the best.”
