Thika United vs Police match preview

Competition: Kenya Super League
Date: Sat 23.March
Match begins: 13:15 (UTC)

This could be an interesting match as Thika United have their presumed home advantage while Police are ahead in the Super League table with their 14 point advantage.

It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Super League. That match was played in the comfort of their own home stadium, hosting Green Commandos. There's been little rest and some travel, but Police will do their best.

Thika United form and stats

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories so far this season, with Thika United only managing 2 wins, 4 draws and 5 losses so far from their games here. The home stadium is supposed to be a fortress, but for Thika United it's been a house of straw as the last four games here have all been lost. Can they turn things around? Thika United has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager and the players.

The Thika United fans got no joy from their last match, a Super League game also here: A 0-2 defeat against Coast Stima (placed 8th). Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Kisumu All Stars (0-1).

Thika United aren't scoring a lot here with only 9 goals from 11 games. 15 goals have been conceded.
