The two teams are unbeaten this season in the Kenyan Premier League and neither of the two sides would like to test defeat on Sunday.
It is definitely going to be an exciting match with each team pushing for a win or at least a point. A win for Stima will give them a chance to move second after Mathare United hit Tusker 1-0 to consolidate the lead at the summit.

Match Preview
Goal Kenya.
This is going to be the third time the two sides are facing each other in the Kenyan Premier League. The first time was way back in 2017 where Sharks managed to win one game with the other two ending in a draw.
Stima will go joint top with Mathare United only if they manage to bag maximum points against the unpredictable Sharks. It is important to note that the hosts might climb to the fourth position if they win with a healthy goal difference.
Whilst the visitors have scored seven goals in the six previous matches, they have conceded three, same as their hosts, who have scored one less. Interestingly, both teams have kept three clean sheets each meaning they are going to employ a cautious approach.
