A win for the Nicholas Muyoti-coached side will increase not only their chances of promotion to the top tier, but also to finish top of the league.
For MCF, a win would take them to the top-half of the table from their current 11th position.
Naivas vs Vihiga United
Fourth placed Naivas FC welcome eighth placed Vihiga United in a league match at the Kenyatta Stadium, Machakos from 1500 hrs.
A win for Naivas will take them to third - a promotion playoff position - and boost their quest to join the top tier.
For Vihiga, a win will revive their promotion hopes after faltering in recent matches.
Vihiga will be keen to wipe the tears from their 2-0 loss to Samwest Blackboots in their last league game.
SS Assad vs MOFA
Struggling SS Assad welcome promotion-chasing MOFA at the Ukunda ShowGround from 1500 hrs.
Assad are bottom of the league with only 17 points, and are one of the favourites for relegation to the Division One.
Away from the football pitch, Assad are facing financial challenges, with reports early in the week indicating that the team is on the verge of dissolution.
For MOFA, they will be keen to overcome their managerial challenges and grab a win that would boost their promotion chances.
The match will be the first for coach Lloyd Wahome, who is making a return to the Homa Bay-based side, albeit on an interim basis.
