Simba and Young Africans are both riding high in the Ligi kuu Bara with their 1st and 5th positions respectively. Expect a great game!
These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Ligi kuu Bara. Thankfully the previous game, versus Ndanda, was also a home game here at National Stadium. The away team is better rested.
These teams are so close in distance that this match is special, a derby with local pride the main prize.
