Vihiga United form and stats

Vihiga United's results here at Mumias Sports Complex in the Premier League have been very modest with 1 victory, 3 draws and 9 defeats. With eleven home Premier League games in a row without a win, the Vihiga fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Nzoia United game long ago, can be stopped today.

Vihiga haven't scored a league goal since they found the net 315 minutes ago. D. Monda scored that one.

In their previous game, led his Vihiga to a defeat in the Premier League match away at Kariobangi Sharks. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Mumias Sports Complex. Vihiga were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.

Preceding that match was a defeat to Bandari (0-1).

There will be little rest for Vihiga after this match as they are travelling to Western Stima for a Premier League game in only four days.

Vihiga have scored 4 goals here in 13 league matches, a depressing statistic. 16 goals have been conceded.
