Ushuru v Tusker (Nyayo Stadium, 5pm)

Tusker striker Jesse Were returns after missing their last two matches attending trials in South Africa.

Fresh from bagging the July SportPesa Premier League Player of the Month award by local sports journalists. Were return will inspire the brewers to achieve where they failed.

The 0-1 defeat to City Stars in the weekend ended Tusker’s slim
chances of winning the Kenyan Premier league.

The brewers will be missing the suspended goalkeeper Duncan Ochieng, who was sent off for handling the ball outside his line
during their last game against Nairobi City Stars,Ushuru loss to Thika United on week 24 showed they inconsistent this season.

Ken Kenyatta’s team possesses that great ability to pick points in games where they don’t manage to flow.

Tusker finished fourth last season and they find themselves once again in the similar position as the season enters the business end.

City Stars vs Western Stima

Venue: Nyayo National Stadium

Time: 7:15 pm EAT

City Stars will indeed be dangerous opponents as they desperately
fight to avoid relegation. City Stars’ win over Tusker in their last KPL outing may act as a motivation in the quest to avod relegation.

Western Stima lost to Kenya Police in the Gotv Shield tournament on
Tuesday this week, and have also gone five matches without victory inthe league the lastest been a home defeat at the hands of Muhoroni Youth in week 23 of KPL action.

Strikers Ebrima Sanneh and Bageya have proved dangerous when in the field of play and will prove a handful for the Stima defence.
