Simba wa Nairobi last hosted Sharks on 21 Dec 2022, in Ruaraka, during a match six tie last season. It ended 1-1 after Paul Okoth’s second-half header off a corner for Sharks canceled out Vincent Otieno’s first-half goal.
That draw ended a streak of two straight losses for City Stars as hosts against Sharks. From the previous three encounters, the Sharkmen have outscored Simba wa Nairobi by five goals to three.
Form-wise, both teams head to the game on the back of losses. While City Stars went down 3-1 away to Tusker in their last encounter, Sharks were taken down 2-0 by traveling Bandari.
