Premier League: Two teams who have done well so far. Let's get ready for Tusker - KCB with this comprehensive preview!
- Tusker have the most scored goals (29) in Premier League
- KCB have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.
11-12-16 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for KCB when playing away games on grass, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has artifical turf). Their goal statistics from those 39 matches are 50-48 (scored/conceded).
These teams are located so close to each other that their supporters eat in the same restaurants, hang out at the same night clubs and give birth at the same hospitals. This means added importance to the game and a vibrant atmosphere.
Tusker form and stats
Tusker, who have the most scored goals (29) in Premier League, have been outstanding at home so far in the Premier League with 6 wins, 2 draws and only 0 losses. Tusker has won so many consecutive home games (five in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at Ruaraka Stadium. We remember; it was Sofapaka.
The home team returns to Ruaraka Stadium after being equal after 90 minutes with Nairobi City Stars (placed 10th) on their last time out; the Premier League game ended 2-2. Tusker salvaged the draw from a difficult situation against Nairobi City Stars, trailing 0-2 at one point. Not giving up resulted in Federico Paradela equalizing.
Ahead of that match, Tusker won a home game hosting Ulinzi Stars (1-0).The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Tusker have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found eight games) they have won four times, drawn four and lost zero.
Tusker are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 11 goals in 8 games. As for guarding their own goal, Tusker have only let in 4 goals at home.
KCB form and stats
As the visiting team in Premier League matches, KCB have produced an overall stat of 3-2-2 so far.
Before that one, a nice away victory 2-0 at Gor Mahia.KCB are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is two wins, zero draws and two defeats. From a total of four matches.
KCB has displayed an ability to score goals in away matches in the league this season, 11 goals from 7 games. 7 goals have been conceded by KCB in these games. It's worth mentioning that 4 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: five - four - one (Tusker wins - draws - KCB wins). As for goals, two matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), eight had two or less.Tusker missing players
