Tusker vs Mara Sugar Prediction: The visitors unbeaten run will come to an end

Dandora Stadium will host the Kenyan Premier League encounter between Tusker and Mara Sugar. Heading into this game, Tusker won the lone meeting of this fixture. Can the table turn?

Tusker took on Nairobi City Stars the previous time out and secured a win. In a game that ended 0-1, Ryan Ogam's lone strike was the difference, securing maximum points for this side. However, that win was Tusker’s second in recent games, having defeated Talanta FC in a prior encounter. In other games, the home side lost to KCB while drawing Ulinzi Stars and Kenya Police. 

Mara Sugar's last league encounter was against Sofapaka, and they settled for a 1-1 draw. This team needed a last-minute strike from Matthias Isogol in that game to avoid a defeat, having gone behind in the fourth minute. In the meantime, Mara Sugar have an unbeaten run of seven games, with their last defeat coming in mid-September. With 16 points, this team sits second in the standings, scoring 11 goals and conceding 5. 

Undoubtedly, Mara Sugar are flying high this season, but this is a Tuskers game. While the visiting team has shown they can compete, the fact that Tusker are at home gives me confidence in them despite their inconsistent plays. This will be a tight one, too, and while the two teams' defences have been poor, we should expect goals in this game.
