Kariobangi Sharks start their Premier League campaign against KCB and will be out to maintian their good run against the bankers.
The new FKF Premier League season kicks off with KCB taking on Kariobangi Sharks at the Police Sacco Stadium in Nairobi on Saturday.
Kariobangi Sharks are looking to build on their seventh place finish of last season which was a significant improvement from the previous campaign.
On the other hand, KCB placed 10th in the league which was a poor return that saw them part ways with coach Bernard Mwalala before appointing Patrick Odhiambo.

Boost for Shabana as they agree multi-million partnership with SportPesa
Shabana have sealed a three-year partnership with SportPesa ahead of their new FKFPL season.
KCB, however, held their nerve then the teams met in the FKF Cup semi final. Derrick Otanga opened the scoresheet before Fortune Omoto ruined their party two minutes later. KCB went on to win on penalties.
It was a rare positive for KCB against Sharks as the slum boys had won four of their previous five meetings, which should be a key motivator for William Muluya's men in Saturday's encounter.
Sharks will likely unleash new striker Ally Salum who joined from Rainbow FC and winger Paul "Messi" Jawa.
