As was the case last season, Nairobi City Stars will visit Kakamega Homeboyz for a matchday 16 FKF Premier League tie in Bukhungu Stadium on Friday 22 December 2023 starting at 3 p.m.
Simba wa Nairobi played Homeboyz at the same venue in a similar round on Saturday 18 February 2023, a game that ended 0-0.
It will be topflight game number eleven since the year 2013, but the sixth for City Stars as guests to Abana Beingo.
City Stars head to Bukhungu in search of their first-ever win over Homeboyz. From the previous five visits, Simba wa Nairobi has managed three draws and two losses and has been outscored seven goals to four.
Once again, City Stars head coach Nicholas Muyoti will be up against his former assistant coach Patrick Odhiambo in his days as a Homeboyz coach.
Form-wise, Homeboyz head to the game on the back of a 2-0 loss to AFC Leopards while Simba wa Nairobi is on a high of a 2-1 win over Ulinzi Stars.
On the 18-team log, Homeboyz is fourth with 27 points and a clear three-point buffer over City Stars who are placed eighth.
