Two travels in a row for KMC, whose manager could celebrate last time after the Ligi kuu Bara win against Mbeya City. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Tanzania Prisons wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.
A quick return to home after this game, as KMC are hosting Coastal Union in the Ligi kuu Bara only four days away.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting KMC as they have only managed to score 10 times from 12 away games in the league. KMC have conceded 13 goals in these away matches.
