These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Premier League. Thankfully the previous game, versus Mathare United, was also a home game here at Afraha Stadium. The away team is better rested.

10-9-14 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for KCB when playing away games on grass, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has artifical turf). Their goal statistics from those 33 matches are 43-41 (scored/conceded).
