Venue: Kenyatta Stadium

Kariobangi Sharks and KCB have both delivered a "par" performance so far, to use a golfing expression. Both hold mid-table positions in the Premier League.

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Kariobangi Sharks and KCB.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting KCB have a different surface at their stadium (artificial turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 5-7-15 (win-draw-loss) from 27 matches. There's local pride at stake here, as these teams are practically neighbours. Expect lots of passion from both players and supporters.
