Another interesting game in the Premier League. Tusker is in the 3rd position after playing nine matches. They welcome Mathare United who are placed 17th after five games.
- Tusker is in the best form (5-1-0)
- Mathare United have lost all their away matches so far.
Mathare United could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Premier League game only four sleeps ago. That game was also an away game, at Ulinzi Stars. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
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.

Mathare United form and stats
It's not happening yet for Mathare United on their Premier League travels, with zero points from their first 3 away games. Maybe today will be different? Three consecutive losses in away matches means Mathare United are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.
Mathare United lost away at Ulinzi Stars (1-2) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. Ahead of that game was the 0-0 draw at home against Bandari.

Mathare United have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 3 league away games 4 goals have been scored. The Mathare defense is as useful as an ashtray on a motorcycle, having conceded 9 goals in their away games.
Head 2 Head
