Batoto ba Mungu will be out to make amends following their 2-0 loss to Bidco last weekend
Kariobangi Sharks will target a three-point haul in the Football Kenya Federation Premier League (FKFPL) when they host Sofapaka at Kasarani Annex Stadium on Friday.
Sharks are winless in their last five league matches, having recorded a goalless draw against AFC Leopards in their last outing.
As the home side, Kariobangi Sharks have won just two games on their patch in the 2022-2023 campaign, with three losses and three draws highlighting their inconsistencies.
Sharks head coach William Muluya was impressed by his side's display in their last game, and he hopes they will return to winning form in the league when they host Sofapaka.
"I will carry on the clean sheet, I will carry on the goalless draw, and I will carry on the one point, and we will build on from there," he said.
