Kariobangi Sharks welcome defending SportPesa League champions Kenya Police FC to the Kasarani Annex on Saturday afternoon in what promises to be a closely contested encounter.
The match kicks off at 4 PM, with both sides heading into the clash eager to correct recent stumbles in the league.
For Sharks, it has been a difficult start to the campaign. They have not won a SportPesa League match since their 2-1 victory over Mathare United in the Slum Derby back in October.

Kariobangi Sharks vs Kenya Police FC Preview
Since then, the youthful side has struggled to find consistency, losing twice and drawing three of their last five outings.
Their defensive frailties have been a major concern, having conceded 11 goals already one of the highest tallies in the league.
In attack, they have managed only seven goals, with Humphrey Aroko standing out as their key contributor with two goals and an assist.
Another headache for Sharks has been their home form. They are yet to register a single home victory this season, a worrying statistic for a team currently sitting bottom of the league table in 18th place.
However, one positive they carry into this fixture is their ability to keep things tight on good days they have kept three clean sheets so far, showing that they are capable of shutting out opponents when disciplined.
Their morale will also be lifted by the return of head coach William Muluya and teenage prodigy Razel Omondi, both of whom have been away on duty with the Kenya U17 team during the AFCON U17 qualifiers in Ethiopia.
Their availability injects fresh energy and tactical stability into the squad at a crucial moment.
On the other end, Kenya Police FC arrive in Nairobi looking to get back on track after a narrow 1-0 home defeat to Shabana. Despite the setback, they remain among the league’s top performers this season, currently placed fourth on the table.
Police have won three of their last five league matches, with their only losses coming against Gor Mahia and Shabana ,both at the Police Sacco Stadium.
They have scored eight goals, conceded six, and kept an impressive five clean sheets, underlining their solidity and discipline under pressure.
Recent head-to-head stats heavily favour the champions. In the last five meetings between the two teams, Police have won twice, with the other three matches ending in draws. Sharks will certainly be aware of that record and will be out to break the trend.
With both sides seeking to bounce back from recent disappointments, fans can expect an intense and entertaining affair at Kasarani Annex. The match will be broadcast live on Azam TV Sports HD 3.
