Only a win will satisfy the home supporters in this Nairobi City Stadium clash with Kisumu All Stars, having a healthy lead on the opposition in the Premier League table.
It's no vacation for neither Tusker nor Kisumu All Stars as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
This stadium uses grass, unlike Kisumu All Stars's home stadium. The visitors last five games on grass have ended in 0 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses.
Tusker form and stats
Tusker, who have the most scored goals (32) in Premier League, have performed here at Nairobi City Stadium this season with 4 wins from 7 Premier League matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 3 games and lost 0.
Defensively the home team are doing well, with their goalkeeper not having conceded a league goal in 320 minutes.
Tusker are returning here after visiting Chemelil in a Premier League game and winning with a 7-0 scoreline. Preceding that game was the home draw versus Leopards that ended 0-0.
As mentioned above, Tusker "killed" Chemelil in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.
The manager will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Bandari in only four days.
A decent goal production from Tusker in their home games so far, with 12 goals from 7 league matches. Tusker are not conceding a lot of goals here at Nairobi City Stadium in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 6 from 7 matches.
Kisumu All Stars form and stats
There's been little loot from Kisumu All Stars's travels as they have only collected 3 points from 8 away games in the Premier League. Kisumu All Stars only have 0 wins to counter their 5 defeats and 3 draws. Bitter travels for Kisumu All Stars as they have lost four games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Chemelil match. It's looking increasingly bleak for Kisumu All Stars who now has to deal with a six game losing streak. Wazito was the last time a defeat was avoided.
Kisumu All Stars are looking to quickly end their 322 minutes long goal drought in the Premier League.
Two away games in a row for Kisumu All Stars, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 0-4 versus Homeboyz in the Premier League. A 0-3 loss hosting Gor Mahia before that.
Kisumu All Stars lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-4 beating and focus on this one.
The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Posta Rangers in just four days.
Kisumu All Stars are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 3 goals from 8 away games. In the opposite end, Kisumu All Stars have conceded 15 goals in their away games.
