It's early days in the Premier League and both Ulinzi Stars and Homeboyz are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.
There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Premier League match only four days ago. That game was an away game at Wazito, so at least Ulinzi are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
Ulinzi Stars form and stats
Times are rough for the home team, having gone 290 minutes without scoring a league goal. E. Ochieng was the last player to find the net.
Homeboyz form and stats
Homeboyz are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Premier League, having played 2 games and collected 3 points (1 win, 0 draws and 1 loss).
Homeboyz lost away at KCB (0-2) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick.
It's early days yet, but Homeboyz has scored 1 and conceded 2 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Ulinzi Stars one win, six draws and Homeboyz three victories. As for goals, one match ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), nine games had two or less.Ulinzi Stars missing players
