Wazito have journeyed here for an entertaining duel versus the hosts Kariobangi Sharks. Read up on the fixture with this in-depth Premier League preview!

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

Kariobangi Sharks's stadium, Moi International Sports Centre, has a grass surface. Wazito have artifical turf on their own stadium. This might or might not make a difference, and to help evaluate that we give you the recent performance numbers for Wazito when playing on grass; 10 wins, 6 draws and 14 losses from 30 matches. They have scored 31 goals in these games and conceded 40.

These teams are located so close to each other that their supporters eat in the same restaurants, hang out at the same night clubs and give birth at the same hospitals. This means added importance to the game and a vibrant atmosphere.

Kariobangi Sharks form and stats

Nothing to worry about in defence for Kariobangi, as their goalkeeper has completely shut out the opponents for 338 minutes in the Premier League.

Happy days for Kariobangi in their previous game, a Premier League match away at Vihiga Bullets (placed 17th) that ended with a 3-0 victory.

In the preceding match a 1-0 victory visiting Posta Rangers.

The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Kariobangi matches with similar probabilities have ended with one win, one draw and zero defeats (from two games).

Wazito form and stats

The Premier League season is young and Wazito have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 2 away games done and still no victory. 1 draw and 1 defeat so far.

Wazito play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 1-3 to Nairobi City Stars (placed 5th).

A 0-1 loss hosting Homeboyz before that.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Wazito playing away, we found one game. Results were zero away wins, one draw and zero home wins.

It's early days yet, but Wazito has scored 2 and conceded 4 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).

Head 2 Head

Statistics for the previous five meetings featuring these two contenders are: three wins for Kariobangi, one draw and one win for Wazito. Over 2,5 goals: three times; under 2,5 goals: two games.
