Posta Rangers form and stats

The visitors are W2-D1-L2 on the road this term. That's in the Premier League. It's a growing despair in Posta Rangers as they have recorded three consecutive losses.

Posta Rangers might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Gor Mahia proved too strong as Posta slumped to a 1-5 defeat in front of their own fans at Ruaraka Stadium.

The game before that, was lost at home, a 0-2 defeat against Police.
