Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Murang'a SEAL in 11th and Nakumatt in 9th place.
It's no vacation for neither Murang'a SEAL nor Nakumatt as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
