Off-color KCB have a tough trip to Machakos where they’ll face Tusker FC in their next Kenyan Premier League match. These two sides start the week from opposite ends of the table, Tusker fourth and KCB 10th. After two straight defeats, hosts Tusker bounced back in their last game, with a 4-0 away win at Shabana FC. They will be keen on building on this comfortable win, seeking to close in on leaders Gor Mahia. As things stand, Tusker are 10 points behind the league leaders, a gap they will be keen to narrow. The last time Tusker faced KCB, they won 5-0 and will hope to register a similarly comfortable win. The Brewers lost 1-0 to Bidco United in their last home match, ending their four-game unbeaten run at home. They have three wins in their last five home games and will want to add one more here.

KCB are coming from a tough run and will come into this game seeking a first win in seven matches. In that period, they have suffered four losses, leaving them on 29 points from their 21 matches. Among those losses suffered was a 5-0 defeat handed down by Tusker early in January. Coming into this encounter, KCB suffered a second straight defeat when they fell 2-1 at home to Kakamega Homeboyz. They had earlier lost by the same margin away to Sofapaka after two straight 0-0 draws with Muhoroni Youth and Ulinzi Stars. The Bankers will be optimistic going into this game though. In their away matches, they’ve done well, losing just once in the last 10 games. Three of their last five away matches ended in over 2.5 goals.
