Vihiga Queens vs Bungoma Queens
Vihiga Queens will face Bungoma Queens in the Ingo Derby, scheduled for 1500 hrs as the second match of a double-header at Mamboleo Stadium in Kisumu.
Vihiga sit second on the log and will be seeking a win to keep pace with leaders Kenya Police Bullets.
Bungoma, on the other hand, are eighth with 16 points and will be targeting victory to improve their position on the league table.
The first-leg meeting ended 3–0 in favour of Vihiga, courtesy of a brace from Martha Amunyolete and a strike from Airine Madalina, a result that gives the Queens confidence heading into the return fixture.
Ulinzi Starlets vs Kibera Soccer Women
Military side Ulinzi Starlets will face Kibera Soccer Women at the Ulinzi Sports Complex from 1300 hrs.
Ulinzi are chasing maximum points to strengthen their title credentials, while Kibera will be out to improve on their sixth-place standing after a difficult first half of the season.
The first leg between the two sides ended in a goalless draw.
Kisumu Allstarlets vs Trinity Starlets
Struggling Kisumu Allstarlets will be seeking to add to their solitary point when they host title-chasing Trinity Starlets at Moi Stadium, Kisumu, from 1300 hrs.
Trinity will be buoyed by their 3–0 victory over Gideon Starlets in their last outing and remain firmly focused on sustaining their title push against the demoralised lakeside outfit.
Kisped Queens vs Zetech Sparks
In the other match of the day, Kisped Queens will face in-form Zetech Sparks in the opening match of the Mamboleo double-header from 1300 hrs.
Kisped will be looking to maximise home advantage and secure what would be their second win of the season, while Zetech will bank on their recent form to claim another victory.
