Relegation-threatened Kariobangi Sharks maintain hope of staying in the SportPesa League next season as they prepare to take on Police FC on Wednesday afternoon.
Sharks are coming off a thrilling 2-2 draw against Kakamega Homeboyz, leaving them in 16th with 34 points. They take on a third place Police with 53 points, who will certainly go into the last day of the season in the same spot.
Police bring a respectable 11-match unbeaten run into this game, most recently playing out to a barren draw against Nairobi United on Sunday.
They face a Sharks side who have mustered a four-match unbeaten streak but remain in the relegation spots with only two games left to play this season.

Police vs Sharks prediction
Police boast the best defensive record in the SportPesa League, conceding just 19 goals in 32 games. Sharks on the other hand are the third lowest scoring side, only bagging more goals than the two already relegated sides.
Their impressive unbeaten run is also unlikely to be halted here by a Sharks side who are desperate to avoid relegation.
