The game will be played at Utalii grounds in Nairobi at 1 p.m. Mara Sugar is unbeaten in the league so far.
Nairobi United plays Migori Youth at Awendo Green Stadium seeking to bounce back to winning ways. The game will be played behind closed doors since Migori Youth is banned from hosting games at home following crowd trouble during their game against Darajani Gogo at Migori Stadium. ‘
Nairobi United coach Paul Okatwa said: “Our focus is on maximum points after the disappointing draw against Silibwet last weekend.”
Speaking after a morning training session at Cardinal Otunga High School in Mosocho on Friday, Okatwa added: “Migori Youth is a good team since they finished third in the league last season but we are not scared of them. Playing the game without fans will be an added advantage to us because Migori fans are always hostile.”
