An important duel in the bottom section of the league table, with both teams experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic “six-pointer” with the home team placed 13th and the visitors in 16th place.
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Premier League.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artificial turf and that the visiting Kariobangi Sharks have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artificial turf is 3-2-2 (win-draw-loss) from seven matches.
This is a local derby, usually meaning added tension and importance.
Wazito form and stats
1 victory, 1 draw and 2 defeats. That’s what Wazito have to build on here at Statehouse Sports Ground in the Premier League.
The fans are hoping that Wazito will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-2 away loss in the Premier League game against Kisumu All Stars (placed 15th). Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Sofapaka (1-2).
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Wazito have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found four matches with the results: Won 0 Drawn 1 Lost 3.

Kariobangi Sharks form and stats
The visitors are W1-D2-L2 on the road this term. That's in the Premier League. It's a growing despair in Kariobangi Sharks as they have recorded three consecutive losses.
The manager was unhappy after their last game, a Premier League match played at their home ground Statehouse Sports Ground. Kariobangi Sharks suffered a 2-4 loss to Ulinzi Stars (placed 3rd). A 0-1 defeat away at Kisumu All Stars before that.
A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Kariobangi Sharks, as mentioned above. 6 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun?
