Samuel Gacharira,
Nine is fine for Sony Sugar, a perennial middle table side, but their recent results have been far from convincing only managing one point in their last two matches at Awendo. Their quest for redemption will see them visit the Kenyatta Stadium to square it out against 6th placed Sofapaka.

Zedekiah “Zico” Otieno is confident his side can post good results on the road if their performance against Batoto Ba Mungu last season is anything to go by. The millers registered an infamous 1-0 win in Machakos then later held them to a 2-2 draw at home amassing four points from the GOtv Shield champions.
Buoyed by their 3-2 away win over Thika in midweek, Sam Timbe’s boys are well aware that success in this tie could see them ascend to second position if other results favor them.
Fiston Abdulrazak’s resurgence will be key for the hosts if he carries his scoring form into this game. David Okello will skipper the team once again in the absence of Felly Mulumba while Collins Shivachi is set to return to the starting lineup after being away on national duty.
The match is slated for 1500hrs EAT on Sunday.
