FKF PL resumes with FC Talanta vs City Stars showdown

After a two-week hiatus, the FKF Premier League resumes on Tuesday for penultimate league action. The 2022–23 league season will come to an end over the weekend, with races at both ends of the log yet to be settled.FC Talanta hosts Nairobi City Stars at the Kasarani Annex this afternoon. Both teams are safe from the drop but are placed in the bottom half of the log. FC Talanta is placed 14th with 35 points, while City Stars, with 333 points, are placed 15th in the log.##NAJAVA_MECA_7324651##In the first leg encounter staged at the Ruaraka Grounds, Talanta came from a goal down to beat Simba Wa Nairobi 2-1. This came at a time when the Nicholas Muyoti-coached team was struggling after a mass walkout of senior players. The team’s fortunes have since improved in the second leg after making some key mid-season signings.Talanta has equally looked solid in the second phase of the season, and this has been attributed to the fact that the team is no longer facing the financial problems that they were going through a few months ago. The playing and technical units had gone for close to a year without pay.Match DayFC Talanta vs. Nairobi City StarsVenue: Kasarani AnnexTime: 3PMHead-to-head in the FKF PLThey have met three times and picked one win a piece, while the other game ended in a draw.#FKFPL pic.twitter.com/epbVple2Py— Ole Teya (@TeyaKevin) June 20, 2023 Ahead of the game, City Stars have been boosted by the return of four key players who missed their last game against Nzoia Sugar FC, which ended in a 3-2 defeat. Kennedy Onyango, Dennis Wanjala, Clifford Ouma, and Samuel Kapen, all starters on a normal day, are all available for selection, a welcome boost for coach Nicholas Muyoti.Talanta are unbeaten in their last four games; they have managed two wins and two draws. City Stars, on the other hand, were equally on a relatively good run before going down to the surprise package, Nzoia Sugar. They were unbeaten in seven games before they went down to the efficient Millers.
