With their 14 point advantage in the league table, Leopards fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against Wazito.
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.
This pitch has grass, which is not Wazito's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on grass Wazito have performed like this: Played 18 matches resulting in 5 wins, 5 draws and 8 defeats with the goal stats 21-22 (scored/conceded).
There's local pride at stake here, as these teams are practically neighbours. Expect lots of passion from both players and supporters.
Leopards form and stats
The home supporters can't complain about results here at Moi International Sports Centre as Leopards have scored 13 goals to get 16 points from 8 games. The overall stats in the Premier League are 4-4-0 (wins-draws-losses). Two home wins in a row for Leopards bring valid hopes of a third.
Leopards lost their last game at Posta Rangers (placed 10th) after a 1-2 scoreline. Before that, Leopards had a home game versus Zoo Kericho which ended with a victory 4-1.
A decent goal production from Leopards in their home games so far, with 13 goals from 8 league matches. As for guarding their own goal, Leopards have only let in 2 goals at home.
Wazito form and stats
Wazito have only collected 6 points from their away games in the Premier League, after 1-3-5 (9 played). A depressing five defeats in a row for Wazito in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Posta Rangers. With the Wazito losing streak of five defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking.
The attacking players of Wazito have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 245 minutes.
Wazito play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 0-1 to Ulinzi Stars (placed 2nd). The game before that, was lost at home, a 0-1 defeat against Gor Mahia.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Wazito as they have only managed to score 7 times from 9 away games in the league. As opposed to that, Wazito have seen the ball go into their own net 13 times on the road.
