Mathare United form and stats
Mathare United are yet to produce one single Premier League point here at Moi International Sports Centre, to the disappointment of their supporters. All 5 matches have been lost. It's been an uphill battle for Mathare in their home games for quite some time now, as five matches in a row are lost here. Not since the Ulinzi Stars game have they avoided the disappointment of defeat.
Mathare lost their last game at Tusker (placed 11th) after a 1-4 scoreline.
Heartbreak before that as Mathare United lost 1-4 at Wazito's place.The manager will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Gor Mahia in only four days.
The lack of attacking qualities in Mathare means that they have only scored 0 goals in 5 league home games, less than half a goal per match. Mathare are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (12 from 5 played).
KCB form and stats
3 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss. That’s the product of KCB playing as the away team in the Premier League this season. Things are running smoothly for KCB who hasn't tasted defeat in their last ten matches, regardless of venue and tournament. Their last defeat was against Gor Mahia.
KCB delivered a 2-2 draw playing at home against Nzoia United (placed 16th) in their previous match; a Premier League game. Drawing 2-2 against Nzoia United after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 2-0. Their manager needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result.
Preceding that game was the away victory against Nairobi City Stars with the score of 1-0.A quick return to home after this game, as KCB are hosting Bidco United in the Premier League only four days away.
