Insights:

  • KCB have the most clean sheets (15) in Premier League

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

13-13-13 (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 52-43 (scored/conceded).

Vihiga are fighting like crazy to avoid relegation and desperately need points in this fixture. KCB are still fighting for top positions and their benefits.

Vihiga United form and stats

Vihiga United's results here at Bukhungu Stadium in the Premier League have been very modest with 1 victory, 4 draws and 10 defeats. Vihiga are slowly digging their own grave here at Bukhungu Stadium with the depressing streak of not having won a home league game in 13 attempts. The last victory here came in the Nzoia United match.

Vihiga are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 1-3 away versus Leopards.

A defeat was the result before that one, 1-2 away at Posta Rangers.

The lack of attacking qualities in Vihiga means that they have only scored 5 goals in 15 league home games, less than half a goal per match. On the other hand, Vihiga have conceded 18 goals.

KCB form and stats

Playing away, KCB have won 7 games, drawn 5 and suffered 2 defeats in the Premier League this season. KCB are enjoying a nice run from their away games now, having played nine in a row without losing.

Did you know that the longest clean sheet streak is 1816 minutes? This record is held by Mazaropi when he played in Vasco da Gama. KCB goalkeeper is eager to challenge this, with his 248 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.

KCB delivered a 0-0 draw playing at home against Gor Mahia (placed 6th) in their previous match; a Premier League game.

Before that one, a nice away victory 2-0 at Western Stima.

KCB have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 14 league away games 20 goals have been scored. It's not easy to score on KCB as they have only conceded 9 goals from these away games. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
