The Slum Derby promised to be one of the top fixtures in the top-tier league upon the promotion of Kariobangi Sharks in 2017 but it has not been the case, being mostly one-sided, with Sharks taking dominance.1.58 KARIOBANGI SHARKS 3.70 MATHARE UNITED 5.60Ahead of their match on Wednesday afternoon at Kasarani Annex, the fixture hardly has any ‘derbiness’ left in it going by the 6-0 evisceration of Mathare United in the first leg of the encounter where Felix Oluoch and Erick Mmata run riot.🚨 | It’s Derby Day! 🆚 @k_sharksfc 📍 Kasarani Stadium, Annex ⏳ 3️⃣pm 🏆 Premier League #SharksVsMathare #GreatnessWithin pic.twitter.com/3ifoWpEWSM— Mathare United FC (@MathareUtd) March 9, 2022 While Kariobangi Sharks are among the chasing pack in the title race with 32 points, Mathare United are bottom on the log with 10 points from 20 matches having suffered a 3-0 defeat against Nzoia recently.Upon his appointment at Mathare, John Kamau took over with a thud, winning his first game as they beat FC Talanta 2-0 at Ruaraka but they have lost three back-to-back matches since then and an encounter with the free-scoring Sharks does not look good for the bottom-placed side.🔥 #SlumDerby 🔥 K-Sharks 🆚 @MathareUtd🏟️| Kasarani Annex⌚| 15:00 EAT📺| https://t.co/nDipB0aXRJGod be with us.#WeAreSharks #BetwaySharks pic.twitter.com/u4pEE8G5XD— Kariobangi Sharks FC (@k_sharksfc) March 9, 2022 Kariobangi Sharks have stuttered in their last four matches, losing to Nairobi City Stars, winning against Kenya Police, losing to Nzoia Sugar, and recently drawing against Wazito FC and will be seeking to get back to consistent positive results.A win for the William Muluya coached side would see them move up to second depending on the margin and the result in City Stars match against Posta Rangers while a win for Mathare United would see them topple Vihiga Bullets in the event that the debutants lose at Bukhungu.The match kicks off at 3 PM EAT. Talanta will host Bandari in an early kick off game set to be played at the same venue from 1 PM EAT.
