Kenya's Harambee Starlets are set to face Malawi in a do-or-die 2020 Olympic qualifier match at the Kenyatta Stadium in Machakos on Sunday, August 25, 2019.
The match, which will be played behind closed doors, is a must-win for the Starlets after Malawi won the first leg 3-2 in Blantyre on Wednesday.
Assistant coach Jackline Juma expressed confidence in her team's ability to secure a crucial win, citing the two away goals as a motivation.
"The two away goals are a motivation to us and I am confident we will get the crucial win to proceed to the next stage," said coach Juma.
The team has been working on their finishing and will be looking to utilise any chance that comes their way to secure a win.
Star player Mwanahalima Adam called on home supporters to stand with the team despite the match being played behind closed doors.
"I am asking all our fans to stand with us as much as the match will be played behind closed door. It won't be easy but we are motivated to get a win," said Adam.
The winner of the match will face either Ghana or Gabon in the third round of the qualifier.
