An important duel in the bottom section of the Premier League, with both Vihiga United and Posta Rangers experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 14th and the visitors in 13th place.

Insights:
  • Posta Rangers have not yet lost a game away.

The visiting Posta Rangers played their last game only four days ago, a Premier League match. That game was also an away game, at Zoo Kericho. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.

Vihiga United form and stats

Vihiga United have played three Premier League home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 3 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead.

Stress levels are on the rise for Vihiga United's attacking players as they have now played 227 minutes without scoring in a league game. D. Simiyu was their last goal scorer.

Vihiga shared the glory with Ulinzi Stars in their last match, an away game that ended all square 0-0. Preceding that match was a defeat to Bidco United (0-1).

Vihiga have scored 2 league goals here from 3 matches, not a lot. Vihiga have conceded 3 in these home matches.

Posta Rangers form and stats

Posta Rangers are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Premier League, having played 2 games and collected 2 points (0 wins, 2 draws and 0 losses). Posta has showed their ability to avoid defeat with six draws in a row, but are also dodging victories. They last avoided the draw 49 days ago, in the KCB fixture. One point away has become something of a habit for Posta Rangers who have played out draws in their last three away games.

Preceding that match was the 1-1 draw at home vs Nairobi City Stars.

Posta Rangers have the goal stats of 2-2 (for/against) from 2 business trips in the league at this early stage of the season.
