This will be definately be the match of the weekend as both sides will
be fighting tooth and nail to get a win.Mathare United under coach
Gabriel "Kingi"Njoroge are under immense pressure having conceded 3 goal
at Sony starting their league campaign on a losing note.
On the other hand AFC Leopards had a lacklustre performance against
Chemelil despite being the team with the most expensively assembled side
after the pre-season buys.However it will be an interesting match both
sides will be fighting out to be on top of the other.
Mathare United will be looking up to to Francis Ouma who scored the lone
goal against Sony to give them the head start as Leopards will be
banking on Oscar Kadenge and Victor Ochieng for the goals.
Collins' Prediction: AFC Leopards 2 Mathare 1
Futaa's Rodgers Eshitemi has this preview:-
It’s definitely a match to watch as Mathare United and AFC Leopards revive their rivalry in the eagerly awaited Kenyan Premier League tie, on Sunday 19 February at Nyayo National Stadium, starting 1600hrs, just after Sofapaka-KCB encounter.
Their rivalry dates back in 2000, when the Slum Boys slammed Ingwe 2-1 to lift the Moi Golden Cup before Leopards revenged the following year, stunning them 2-0 in the finals to clinch the same Cup.
Though Mathare struggled to escape relegation last season, they really gave AFC a run for their money, winning one of their two meetings; Mathare-AFC 1-0, 2-2.
But having registered unpleasant results in their 2012 KPL season-openers, with Mathare charges faltering 3-1 to SoNy Sugar as Chemelil Sugar held fancied AFC to a barren draw; both teams are craving for victory.
AFC is under pressure from their fans to deliver but with the International Transfer Certificate (ITC) reprieve for Allan Wanga, they’re confident of the three points.
On the other hand, Jamal Malo Malo Mohammed, who also missed the first encounter due to ITC issues, is expected to boost Mathare after the exit of playmaker Kevin Kimani.
