Nairobi City Stars will be going for their seventh straight win in the Kenyan Premier League when they host Posta Rangers. The sides face off on the back of contrasting runs that have City Stars second and Posta Rangers third. One point stands between the two sides, with City Stars having hit 30 points in their 3-0 win over Talanta. In recent matches, City Stars have solidified defensively and come here with four clean sheets in five matches. Meanwhile, a much-improved attack means they go into this week as the highest scorers, having netted 25 times. No team in the league has had better form than City Stars in recent matches. The last time City Stars lost a home match was in October; they come here with four straight home wins. In the past week, the Nairobi based side waded off interest from Shabana FC for their head coach Nicholas Muyoti. The tactician will hope to put that saga behind him as he targets three more points here.

Posta Rangers’ slump continued with their 1-0 loss at home to Gor Mahia. The Mailmen, who at some point led the standings, now find themselves eight points off the mark. They will hope to avoid sinking further, after suffering their third loss in five matches. Their slump started at the beginning of December when they lost 1-0 at home to Nairobi City Stars. In the four matches that followed, they managed just one win. A side that started the season well, is suddenly struggling in attack, and come here having failed to score in four of the last five matches. Two clean sheets only in the last seven matches also means they’ve dropped the guard defensively. John Kamau will be keen to rally his charges to return to their best and stop the rampant City Stars.
