Kariobangi Sharks hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 20 points and a 13th position in the Premier League table. Visiting Wazito holds 12th place with 23 pts.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Wazito have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 5-7-8 (win-draw-loss) from 20 matches.
This is a local derby, usually meaning added tension and importance.
Kariobangi Sharks form and stats
With 2 Premier League wins, 3 draws and 7 defeats from their home games, Kariobangi Sharks are certainly not brimming with confidence.
Stress levels are on the rise for Kariobangi Sharks's attacking players as they have now played 290 minutes without scoring in a league game. P. Otieno was their last goal scorer.
Prior to that, an away loss at Bandari.
The manager will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Tusker in only four days.
The Kariobangi Sharks fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 20 goals in 12 league matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 23 goals have been conceded.
Wazito form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Wazito so far with only 8 points returning home. The records show 1-5-6 (win-draw-lose). Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in ten away games in a row.
Wazito delivered a 0-0 draw playing at home against Ulinzi Stars (placed 4th) in their previous match; a Premier League game. Prior to that match, a home win 4-1 against Zoo Kericho.
After this away game Wazito return home for a Premier League game against Sofapaka. That game is only three sleeps after this.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Wazito as they have only managed to score 9 times from 12 away games in the league. Wazito have conceded 17 goals in these away matches.
Head 2 Head
The two sides played each other earlier this season: Wazito - Kariobangi Sharks 0-0. Last three meetings between the teams: Kariobangi Sharks won two, Wazito won zero and one draw. two games with over 2,5 goals, one match with two goals or less.Kariobangi Sharks missing players
