It will be the fourth home game for Simba wa Nairobi against Bidco United in the Kenyan topflight, and overall, the eighth meeting at that level.
Yet, it will be the first meeting for the two out in Machakos. The last time City Stars hosted Bidco United was on 22 November 2022 in Nyayo Stadium during the season opener in the 2022-23 FKF Premier League season. Bidco United won it 2-0.
From the previous three home games, Bidco United topples City Stars with two wins to one, scoring four goals against three.
Earlier this season, the two faced off in matchday two in Kasarani Annex in early September 2023. It ended in a 1-1 draw.
Once again, City Stars head coach Nicholas Muyoti will be coming up against Bidco’s Anthony Akhulia for the fifth time in the top league. For Akhulia, it will be his eighth premier league game against City Stars.
Heading to the match, both sides will parade draws from their previous round of games. While City Stars shows up with a 0-0 draw against Kariobangi Sharks, Bidco United will show up with a 1-1 draw against Sofapaka.
Tablewise, Simba wa Nairobi sits sixth on the log with 38 points, seven better than tenth-placed Bidco United.
