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 14th place.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artificial turf and that the visiting Posta Rangers 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 1-1-3 (win-draw-loss) from five matches.
Western Stima form and stats
3-7-5 (win-draw-lost) are the numbers at home for Western Stima, who have the fewest scored goals (10) at home in Premier League, so far this season. With eight home games in a row without a win, the Western Stima fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Nakumatt game long ago, can be stopped today.Western Stima drew their last game, also a home match. Mathare United was the opponent, 0-0 the score. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Zoo Kericho (1-2).
The manager will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Vihiga United in only four days.
Western Stima have scored 10 goals here in 15 matches, not a lot. 16 goals have been conceded.
