NAIROBI, Kenya- Tusker FC have the chance to go top of the SportPesa Premier League (SPL) table on Wednesday when they take on Wazito FC at the Kenyatta Stadium in Machakos from 3pm.
The brewers, who are fresh off an impressive 3-1 comeback win over struggling Kariobangi Sharks FC, will be looking to extend their unbeaten run to six matches when they take on the newly promoted side.
Champions Gor Mahia FC are still out of action having been relieved of their duties until all their players return from the ongoing CECAFA Senior Challenge Cup in Kampala, Uganda.
Wazito have only won once in their last five outings and sit only three points above the dreaded relegation zone.
Third-place Kakamega Homeboyz FC will also need to maintain their proper form if they are to remain hot on the league leaders heels when they go up against troubled Bandari FC on Wednesday at the same time.
Homeboyz (23) are the favourites to clinch all three points as the dockers have failed to find their footing, having not won a single match since a walkover victory over Chemelil Sugar FC in October.
Their drastic run of form sees Bernard Mwalala's charges sit lowly in 12th with 12 points from 11 matches.
Zoo FC (13) will not break into the top 10 even if they manage to beat Western Stima FC at the Moi Stadium in Kisumu but they will need not drop points they are to maintain their steady rise up the SPL table.
Stima (21) have only lost once this campaign and are hanging on to fifth place in the standings.
On Thursday, an enticing encounter sees eighth-place AFC Leopards SC (17) take on a Kenya Commercial Bank FC (KCB) that is beaming confidence after a stellar start to the 2019/20 season.
KCB (21) are coming off a resounding 5-1 thrashing of Posta Rangers FC courtesy of an Enock Agwanda hat-trick and will need to keep up the pace to maintain their top five place on the table.
