Vihiga Queens must beat Nigeria's River Angels this afternoon in the last Group 'B' match of the on-going CAF Women's Champions League to guarantee themselves a slot in the semis.
The Vihiga county-sponsored team are also praying that table-toppers Mamelodi Sundowns, who have maximum six points, get at least a draw against AS FAR as the bare minimum.
Should both Vihiga and AS FAR win, head-to-head stats and goal difference will be considered because all the three teams will be on six points.
Vihiga hope captain Ines Mango and Janet Bundi Moraa are fit again after both players incurred minor injuries in the last match. It will be a big blow to the side if both players are ruled out with Mango's ability to read the game and leadership crucial to Vihiga.
Queens rekindled their last four hopes after outsmarting Morocco's AS FAR on Tuesday in the 2-0 victory, courtesy of goals from dribbling winger Violet Wanyonyi and sensation striker Jentrix Shikangwa to register their first points.
The Charles Okere-led Queens reverted back to the crisp attacking football after adopting a defensive approach against Sundowns in the 1-0 loss characterised by stage fright.
Queens are high on confidence following their win over AS FAR. Tereza Engesha was named 'Woman of the Match' after impressive show and goalkeeper Lilian Awuor pulling some crucial saves.
Queens are expected to stick to their attacking play as they seek to go for early goals to relieve the pressure off the players. The 20-year-old Shikangwa will once again lead the onslaught supported by Engesha and Wanyonyi.
The Most Valuable Player during the qualifiers continues to prove doubters wrong and may as well get a dream move to Europe if her performance is anything to go by.
Lornah Nyabuto continues in midfield after her unmatched exploits against AS FAR. The pair of Vivian Makokha and Phoebe Owity will form the central defence with Awuor a sure bet to start in goal.
