The Harambee Starlets are in a do-or-die situation as they face Malawi in their 2020 Olympic qualifier return match at Kenyatta Stadium in Machakos on Sunday.
Malawi won the first leg 3-2 in Blantyre on Wednesday, but the Starlets are confident of a win to proceed to the next stage.
Assistant coach Jackline Juma expressed confidence in her team's ability to trounce their opponents, 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 out to utilise any chance that come their way to walk away with 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 in the match will face either Ghana or Gabon in the third round of the qualifier.
