Insights:
  • Wazito have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
  • Mathare United have the most conceded goals in the first half (21) in Premier League

The hosts Wazito saw competitive action as recent as four days ago, playing in the Premier League. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Homeboyz.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Mathare United have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artifical turf is 1-1-2 (win-draw-loss) from four matches.

These teams are located so close to each other that their supporters eat in the same restaurants, hang out at the same night clubs and give birth at the same hospitals. This means added importance to the game and a vibrant atmosphere.
