Shauri Moyo Sportiff and Shauri Moyo Blue Stars go head to head in a Super 8 Premier League derby on Sunday 4 August at City Stadium from 3: 30 PM.
After leaving fans craving for goals in their first-leg encounter which ended 0-0, the two East Conference sides will be at it again to determine who takes home the neighborhood bragging rights.
This duel is among seven other enticing second-leg match-ups on the menu this weekend as the popular grass root league enters round 19.
Debutants Sportiff (21 points) who have won 5 games and drawn 6 times head into the match as underdogs by virtue of experience in the league against 9th place Blue Stars (18).
Sportiff who have a game in hand against Metro Sports will be looking to rectify their mistakes in their previous game where they lost 2-1 against RYSA.
Speaking ahead of the tie, Sportiff coach Collins Omondi said they are under no pressure to prove themselves in the high stakes derby but promised great football for the fans.
He said: “There’s no pressure at all from our side, this is just like any other league game. We have come far as a team and we aim to go further even further so fans should expect an entertaining game.”
Blue Stars who have drawn twice and lost once in their last three games will be looking to put the genie back into the bottle and bag their first win in nine attempts.
After denying on-form TUK in a goalless draw last time out, Blue Stars who have won 5 and drawn on three occasions will be confident of posting positive results.
At Ziwani grounds, Team Umeme coach and former Posta Ranger man Aggrey Ongoli will be missing the services of their midfield dynamo Ramadham Emeka when they welcome relegation-threatened RYSA.
