Tusker - Shabana brawl highlights Friday FKFPL action

The Football Kenya Federation Premier League action gets into week six with three matches on the cards on Friday, with the biggest clash pitting Tusker and the newly promoted side Shabana FC at Moi International Sports Centre, Kasarani.

Tusker is in the ascendancy since their 2-1 defeat to Kakamega Homeboyz and are seeking to keep the momentum going to cut short the point gap between them and top placed Posta Rangers to two.

On the other hand, Sammy Okoth's charges are having one of the toughest welcome to the top tier with the club yet to record any victory since promotion to the big stage.

The Kisii based club are on a run of five matches without a win, further failing to keep a clean in all of their opening league encounters.

Maximum points for Robert Matano's Tusker will lift the twelve-time FKF Premier League champions to second on the log whereas a win for the Glamour Boys will bring them level on points with Kakamega Homeboyz.

Kakamega Homeboyz vs FC Talanta

At the Bukhungu Stadium, Kakamega Homeboyz will be welcoming the 'Kings of draws' FC Talanta.

A win will elevate them to the top five and will be a motivation especially playing away from home.

George Odour's side , who have struggled defensively this season failing to keep clean sheet in six games in row, will miss the services of newly recruited goalkeeper Fredrick Munyendo who was stretched out injured the previous weekend.
