- Tusker FC currently sit second in the table standings with 24 points from 13 matches.
- Posta Rangers occupies the last position with 11 points from a similar number of fixtures.
- The match is scheduled to start at 1 PM East African Time on Saturday.
A high-flying Tusker FC will travel to Machakos to play a staggering Posta Rangers side on Saturday afternoon.
Tusker, who have had an encouraging campaign so far this season, will be aiming to overcome their opponents and end the year on a high.
The Brewers have collected 24 points from 13 matches (7W, 3D, 3L) so far, an outcome that has made them occupy the second position spot in the competitive log with only goal difference separating them from the Football Kenya Federation Premier League (FKFPL) leaders KCB FC who have played an extra match.

On the other hand, Posta have failed to replicate the good form they had last season and if they do not find an urgent solution, relegation awaits them at the end of the season.
The Bernard Kawinzi-tutored side occupy the last position in the 18-team table with 11 points from 13 matches (2W, 5D, 6L) and anything less than a win on Saturday will make life harder for them in the final stages of the league.
The mailmen go into this match on the back of a narrow 1-0 defeat in the hands of SportPesa sponsored side Murang’a Seal five days ago.
Humphrey Obina scored a beautiful goal in that match that was played at the SportPesa Arena to ensure Murang’a Seal take all the three points.

Meanwhile, Ryan Ogam’s brace helped Tusker to beat Bidco United 2-1 in their most recent encounter that was played at the Dandora Stadium.
Ogam, who currently leads the golden boot race with 12 goals, has stated that the Tusker FC camp is ready for the Posta Rangers test.
“I can say there is confidence in the team because we recovered from a loss and won our last game. So, our preparations have been top notch and there is a positive energy in the dressing room.
We hope to end this year on a high, we take the three points against Posta Rangers,” explained the lethal striker.

On his part, the Brewers head coach Charles Okere labeled Saturday’s opponent as a tricky side that will make life hard for them.
“The gospel that I have preached to the boys is that Posta is a very tough team. It is going to be a very difficult team. So, we are not looking at the position of the team in the log but.
We respect Posta and we are going to approach the game with the respect it deserves,” stated the 43-year-old tactician.
