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 4 matches have been lost. The season ticket holders are starting to dread their visits here at Moi International Sports Centre, with the home team losing four in a row. They have not avoided a defeat here since the Ulinzi Stars game.

An away draw last time out for Mathare United, facing Homeboyz in a game that ended 2-2. A disappointing finish for Mathare in their match versus Homeboyz as their 2-0 lead was destroyed and replaced with a 2-2 full time score.

Preceding that match was a defeat to Talanta (0-2).

The lack of attacking qualities in Mathare means that they have only scored 0 goals in 4 league home games, less than half a goal per match. Defensively there's plenty of potential for improvement as Mathare have allowed the opposition to score 10 goals here at Moi International Sports Centre.
