KCB suffered a 1-0 loss in their last game against Mathare United. Meshack Ochieno scored the only goal in the game in the 55th minute, to give Mathare United all maximum points. Sidwedwe have won five, drawn one, and lost one in their last seven games, conceding four and scoring thirteen goals. They sit at the top of the table with 17 points in 8 games, scoring 13 and conceding four goals.

Talanta FC tied a 1-1 draw in their last game against Kariobangi Sharks. Brian Kipruto scored first in the 21st minute, to put Talanta FC ahead before the halftime break. However, Victor Ngume's score in the 60th minute leveled the score for Kariobangi Sharks, and they both shared the point. Talanta FC failed to win any of their last five games, scoring three goals and conceding seven. They sit 17th on the table with 6 points in 6 games, scoring four goals and conceding 7.

Both sides met only 6 times, KCB won 3, and 3 ended in a draw. Their last match ended in 2-0 for KCB.

I am persuaded to back KCB to win because they are a better team here, and playing at home will be an added advantage with their spot at the top of the table being their ultimate motivation. On the other hand, Talanta FC have only won just one game in six games from the start of the season, which obviously shows they have been struggling. Also, Talanta FC will find it challenging to score here. They only scored four goals in six matches.
