Kariobangi Sharks form and stats

OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Kariobangi Sharks's two home games in the Premier League so far this season, having collected 4 points here at Moi International Sports Centre.

The Kariobangi Sharks coach and his pawns return home after a 1-1 draw away versus Homeboyz (placed 4th). The match result 1-1 has happened to this team three times in a row!

Preceding that game was the away draw at Nairobi City Stars that finished 1-1.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams.

Police form and stats

Police are still undefeated on their travels in the Premier League. They have only played two games though, winning one and drawing the other.

Police are travelling after their nice 4-0 home win in the fixture against Wazito (placed 16th). That win felt sweet as this side had gone four league matches without winning. As mentioned above, Police was the only team on the pitch versus Wazito in their previous game, winning 4-0. This could be a tougher task.

Preceding that game, the 1-1 draw paying a visit to Sofapaka.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Police playing away and similar expectations, we found 7 relevant matches. Results were 2 Police wins, 4 draws and 1 defeat.
