Simba wa Nairobi veteran midfielder Peter ‘Pinchez’ Opiyo has admitted that Talanta will pose a stern threat but is hoping that the City Stars can go on a long winning streak. “The match will be tough because they will be upbeat after coming from a win against Homeboyz which will give them some morale and make it a difficult game for us.This is our chance to redeem ourselves and try to go on a run of wins because from number one we are now five points adrift and we need wins to go back to where we are,” said Pinchez.

This is the first time that the two teams will be meeting in the top flight but in their NSL encounters, City Stars have been dominant winning four of their seven clashes with a draw being registered once. The match is slated for a 3 PM kick-off at the Kasarani Annex.
