In the last encounter at the same venue back in October 2021, City Stars clawed back from a goal down at halftime to level the tie 1-1 via an Anthony Muki Kiman strike for a share of the spoils.
That draw was the fourth in games hosted by Rangers, the other two being a win a piece by either side.
While City Stars will once again be led to the game by coach Nicholas Muyoti, Rangers will be under the wings of John Kamau. Last time out Stanley Okumbi who was the boss of the mailmen.
Into the game, both sides are reeling from losses; Simba wa Nairobi having gone down 2-1 to FC Talanta in their last game while Rangers comes to the game on the back of a 1-0 loss to Ulinzi Stars.
