  • Homeboyz have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
  • Vihiga United have the the worst goal difference (-25) in Premier League

These are full days for the home side, as they had a match only four days ago in the Premier League. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Tusker.

These teams are located so close to each other that their supporters eat in the same restaurants, hang out at the same night clubs and give birth at the same hospitals. This means added importance to the game and a vibrant atmosphere.

Relegation threatens Homeboyz who should definitely be looking for some points here. Vihiga are struggling to avoid relegation.
