FC Talanta will be seeking to extend their lead at the top when they host Vihiga Bullets on Saturday
The match pitting FC Talanta and Vihiga Bullets will be the clash of the titans as NSL welcomes round 19 this weekend with nine matches lined up across the country.
Talanta will be seeking to win against third-placed Vihiga bullets and extend their lead at the top after squandering the chance to do so when they played to a barren draw against Migori Youth in their rescheduled fixture on Wednesday.

FC Talanta's tactician Ken Kenyatta rued missed chances against Migori, adding that their focus was now on the next match.
“We failed to convert our chances into goals and the opponent came to spoil the party but football is usually like that, we now turn our attention to the next match. I’m not disappointed with the result every team can be beaten or pick up a draw, the league is still young we are taking it game by game, even the bottom-placed team still has a chance of promotion,” Kenyatta said after being held by Migori Youth.
The Ken Kenyatta-coached side sits at the summit with 36 points, one more than second-placed Kenya Police.
Vihiga Bullets are six points off the league leaders and will be going for the win here to close in on the gap. They will also be seeking to get back to winning ways after losing 2-1 to a struggling Mt. Kenya United in round 18.
