Mathare United form and stats

The visitors are W1-D1-L3 on the road this term. That's in the Premier League.

Mathare United might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Police proved too strong as Mathare United slumped to a 0-5 defeat in front of their own fans at Ruaraka Stadium. As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Police was particularly ugly (0-5). The humiliation is still top of mind.

A loss against Homeboyz was the result prior to that, in a home game.

Goal hungry football fans should note that 8 of this side's 10 latest league fixtures have ended with three goals or more.

Mathare are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 8 times in 5 away games so far.

Head 2 Head

The 4 latest meetings involving these two teams have all ended as KCB wins. Surely both teams are aware of this.
