The National Super League (NSL) is set for an exciting matchday 2 this weekend, following an action-packed opening round that saw several teams make strong starts.
On Saturday, SS Assad, fresh from a convincing 2-0 win over Samwest, will host Naivas FC at the Ukunda Showgrounds. Naivas will be looking to bounce back after a narrow 0-1 defeat to MOFA in their opening fixture.
Meanwhile, Mombasa United will seek redemption at Serani Sports Complex after falling 0-2 to APS Bomet last week, as they face a Samwest side also hoping to recover from their defeat.
Vihiga United, who kicked off their campaign with a hard-fought 1-0 win over MCF, will host Muhoroni Youth at the Mumias Sports Complex.
Muhoroni Youth, after losing 0-1 to Dimba Patriots, will need a turnaround to avoid falling further behind in the standings. Over at Olooloitikosh, Dimba Patriots, who started strong with a 1-0 victory, will welcome MCF in what promises to be a competitive encounter.
