Prediction published on 11/03/2023, 23:58  by Nella Wagah in Kenyan Premier League Predictions

Tusker FC will be out to make use of their game in hand when they make the short trip across Nairobi to face FC Talanta in their 18th match of the Kenyan Premier League on Sunday. The two sides are fighting on oppsite ends in the league standings, hosts Talanta in 14th place with 17 points while fourth placed Tusker have double their hosts’ tally. FC Talanta’s struggles have been documented both on and off the pitch, and they come into this game with just four wins in their 18 league matches. They are three points above the relegation playoff spot and will want some more security with three points from this game. Talanta are coming from a 1-0 loss to title contenders KCB; they have one clean sheet only in the last five matches and their only win in those five matches was against bottom placed Vihiga Bullets.

Tusker FC may be playing away from home, but will be the favorites here. They haven't lost to FC Talanta in the last three meetings, though their most recent, the first leg meeting this season ended 2-2. Being in the title race, Tusker will be hoping to bag three points from this encounter, which could take them to second in the standings, just a point behind leaders Gor Mahia. Tusker are coming from a 1-0 win over Bandari at home; that was their third straight win and they are in great shape coming into this clash. Their only defeat in the last five matches was against the league leaders. The Brewers have three losses and 10 wins in their 17 league matches so far.
