There were no winners in Talanta's previous match, a Super League home game that ended 1-1 vs Coast Stima (placed 18th).

Preceding that game was the away victory against Nairobi Stima with the score of 1-0.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Talanta manager as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against APS Bomet.

Talanta has displayed an ability to score goals in away matches in the league this season, 23 goals from 14 games. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (12 so far).
