Tusker FC: Form and Statistics
Tusker is hoping this match will mark a turning point after a tough start to the season. They lost their first two games, 2-0 to KCB and 2-1 to Rangers. Their first point came in a goalless draw against Mathare United on Wednesday. This poor start has put pressure on coach Charles Okere, and another loss could be costly for him. Fan behavior will also be under close watch after recent events. Tusker lost to KCB FC and Posta Rangers, then managed a draw against Mathare United at Dandora Stadium. Michira has been key for the Glamour Boys since their promotion. Last season, he was the club's top scorer with 12 goals, earning a spot in the CHAN squad. He has started this season strong, and his absence against Tusker would be a big setback for the team. Tusker FC faces the most pressure when the SportPesa Premier League resumes with three exciting fixtures. The 13-time champions have had a nightmare start to the 2025/26 season, losing both of their opening matches and conceding four goals. They now travel to Dandora Stadium to face Mathare United, hoping to turn their season around.

Kariobangi Sharks’ unbeaten start to the season ended with a 1-0 loss to KCB FC at the Kasarani Annex on Tuesday, 30 September. Richard Omondi’s 36th-minute goal was the difference, as KCB bounced back from their loss to Mathare United. Sharks conceded their first goal and struggled to find the net. Sharks’ coach William Muluya stuck with his usual 4-2-3-1 formation. Sebastian Wekesa started in goal, with Steve Biko, Zablon Kutela, Ian Taifa, and Timothy Ekhavi in defense. Patillah Omoto and Andreas Odhiambo played in midfield, with Victor Ngume as the playmaker. Razel Omondi and Steve Mbulere played wide, supporting center forward Mark Vivian Kesa. Sharks tried to build from the back, with the center-backs splitting to receive passes from Wekesa. Omoto and Odhiambo dropped deep to help move the ball forward. But KCB’s high press disrupted their play. Wanumbi and Richard Omondi closed down the center-backs, while Mieno and Isogoli pressured Omoto and Odhiambo, cutting off passing options. Sharks struggled to maintain possession and couldn’t control the game. To adjust, Sharks tried to overload the middle, with Razel Omondi moving inside to create a box midfield. But KCB’s Boniface Omondi tracked him, shutting down Sharks' advantage.
