Tusker host Mara Sugar in a SportPesa League match on Friday afternoon, seeking to stretch their unbeaten run to four games.
The brewers are in seventh place with 41 points after 28 games. Their most recent outing resulted in a barren draw against relegation-threatened Sofapaka.
They face a Mara Sugar side who are also unbeaten in their last three matches, leaving them in 11th with 37 points. Mara beat Kariobangi Sharks 1-0 last time out, making it two wins on the bounce.
Tusker edged Mara Sugar 1-0 in the reverse fixture last November and are hoping they can complete the league double over their opponents.
Victory for visiting Mara will see them leapfrog three teams into eighth place on the log, as they continue to try and better their best ever finish in the SportPesa League.

Tusker vs Mara Sugar prediction
With the defensive prowess both sides have shown in their last three outings, we should not be expect plenty of goals here.
It should be a rather cagey encounter that could be won by a single goal, if either side works hard enough to avoid a draw.
Prediction – Under 2.5 goals
