The match promises a lot of fireworks as both teams are sponsored by the giant Kenya Power & Lightning Company Limited. The other third team sponsored by the company is Western Stima that were relegated from the Kenya Premier League back to the lower league.

Cost Stima have a heavy investment on striker and free-kick specialist Davis Shikala, who scored a goal and assisted in another during last weekend’s 2-1 win over Kisumu Allstars.

Both Coast Stima and Nairobi Stima have four points from two matches and are separated on goal difference. Each has won one match and drawn a single match.

Before beating Kisumu AllStars, Coast Stima started the season with mixed result after picking a one all draw against Green Commandos at Bukhungu Stadium.

Nairobi Stars kicked-off the league on a sound note with a 2-0 win over Nairobi City Stars before recording a goalless draw against Green Commandos.

Coast Stima are placed sixth on the 20 team NSL league table while their Nairobi counterparts are lying third.
