Mathare United will be chasing consistency when they host Nairobi United at Kasarani Stadium this afternoon, hoping to secure their first back-to-back win of the 2025-2026 SportPesa Premier League season.
The Slum Boys sit 12th on the table with 34 points, just above the lower half, and need wins to move further away from danger. Nairobi United, on the other hand, is sixth with 42 points and still pushing for a strong finish in the top half.
Mathare captain Brian Ochieng remains confident ahead of the clash.
“It’s a tough game, but everyone is ready. We have had good training sessions, and our aim is to get our first back-to-back wins of the 2025-2026 campaign. We are lacking consistency, but the boys are ready to do their best,” he said.
