The Premier League league table might not tell the truth so early on, but it's the best truth we have so far. These two teams are placed 13th and 16th respectively.

This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Wazito have a different surface at their stadium (artificial turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 4-3-5 (win-draw-loss) from twelve matches.
