Expect an intriguing fixture with plenty at stake. At the Raila Odinga Stadium in Homa Bay, Shabana will be hosting Kariobangi Sharks hoping to get their first top flight win since 2006.
Shabana lost their first league game back in the topflight against Murang’a Seal, before drawing Talanta and Police in their second and third game respectively.
