Coast Stima, promoted to the second-tier league this season, edged out Nakuru All Stars 2-1 in their second match and will be hoping to match a similar feat against a formidable Nairobi Stima side that only fell short of promotion to the top tier at the tail end of last season.
Also on the cards is a match pitting Green Commandoes against FC Talanta on Saturday at the Bukhungu Stadium in Kakamega.

The newly-promoted side has shared the spoils twice in a row and will be looking forward to a maiden win against an FC Talanta side that lost 3-1 to Nairobi City Stars in their last match. Talanta will miss the services of Victor Ashinga and Isaac Sadaam, who were both sent off.
FC Talanta lost 3-1 to Nairobi City Stars last weekend. They had two players sent off in the match.
