Overall, it will be the ninth meeting at that level. Notwithstanding, it will be the first meeting between the two sides at the Dandora Stadium.
City Stars last hosted Bidco United in Machakos on 9 March 2024. The game ended 1-1.
From the previous four home games, Bidco United topples City Stars with two wins, the other two ending in draws, and have scored five goals as opposed to four.
Interestingly, as is the case now, the two faced off in matchday two last season, 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 sixth time in the top league. For Akhulia, it will be his ninth premier league game against Simba wa Nairobi.
While the upcoming game will be the first of the season for City Stars this season, Bidco are in their second one. As City Stars sat out the opening weekend as their opponents Kenya Police had an international assignment, Bidco clawed back to tie Shabana 1-1 at the Thika Stadium.
Who wins this one?
