Tusker will aim to arrest their recent slump when they face Nairobi City Stars on Staurday at the Machakos Stadium in a highly anticipated FKF Premier League clash.
The Brewers, currently in seventh place with 11 points from seven matches, are winless in their last two games and will be desperate to reignite their campaign.
City Stars, meanwhile, head into the encounter full of confidence after back-to-back wins that have lifted them to 13th on the table with eight points from seven matches.
Their resurgence has been a welcome boost for coach Nicholas Muyoti, who will look to extend their winning streak and climb further up the standings.
Tusker’s form contrasts sharply with their early-season promise, and they will rely on their experienced squad to steady the ship.

The Brewers boast a strong attacking lineup but have struggled for consistency in recent weeks. City Stars, on the other hand, have shown grit in their recent outings and will fancy their chances of causing an upset.
In other fixtures, Kakamega Homeboyz will host Bandari FC at the Mumias Complex. Bandari, sitting fourth with 12 points from seven matches, will aim to close the gap on league leaders KCB, while Homeboyz, languishing in 14th, need a win to move away from the relegation zone.
Elsewhere, Murang’a Seal, in 11th, will battle Shabana FC at the SportPesa Arena. Shabana, stuck in 16th with just six points, will look to end their poor run of form. Meanwhile, Mathare United, placed sixth, face Posta Rangers at Machakos Stadium, with the latter still searching for their first win of the season.
