On November 29, 2019, Mathare United will host Kakamega Homeboyz in a highly anticipated Kenyan Premier League match at the Kenyatta Stadium in Machakos.
Homeboyz will be without key players Allan Wanga, who is dealing with stomach issues, and goalkeepers David Juma and midfielder Ali Bhai, who are nursing injuries.
Despite the setbacks, Homeboyz tactician Nicholas Muyoti remains optimistic about his team's chances, citing the threat posed by Mathare United's on-form Slum Boys.
“I expect the rest of the boys to step up. Mathare United are a good side and with their current form, I expect a very tough match,” Muyoti told Nation Sport on Thursday.
Mathare United have lost only once this season and are fourth on the log with 17 points from 10 matches. Kakamega Homeboyz have a similar number of points but are sixth with an inferior goal difference.
Mathare United winger James Kinyanjui has warned his teammates not to underrate their opponents, praising Homeboyz's experienced players and coach.
