Only three matches will be played in the FKF Premier League on Saturday afternoon, with the headline act being an interesting tie between leaders KCB and Tusker at St. Sebastian Park.Before that, however, will be the early afternoon kickoff between basement sides Mathare United and Talanta at Dandora Stadium.Here are the fixtures for Match Week 7.#FKFPremierLeague pic.twitter.com/mHXpVhU5su— FKF Premier League (@Officialfkfpl) October 25, 2024 Days after getting off the mark with an important win over Bidco United, Mathare found themselves back fighting for their lives on Wednesday, when they went down 2-0 to Kenya Police.On Saturday, the Slum Boys – who were called by head coach John Kamau to “develop a slum mentality,” will perhaps fancy their chances against fifteenth-place Talanta, who are on one win in three so far this season.John Kamau challenges Mathare United players to instill ‘slum mentality’“I term that game as a dogfight,” Kamau said on Friday, building up to the 1300 EAT kickoff. “Of course our opponents have been in the league for a while, but we need to collect each available point this season.”Looking back at their loss of momentum during the week, Kamau said that he still has a lot of belief in his rather decimated squad, but urged them not to “let themselves down and fight.”Following them in the double-header at Dandora (1600 EAT) will be second-placed Kariobangi Sharks, who fell to their first defeat of the season against Bidco last Wednesday.In front of them will be winless Shabana, whose situation in the league appears rocky at best.From fan boycotts to rumors about the exit of their head coach Sammy Omollo, a win could change alot of things, but that remains to be a high bar, going by recent form.##NAJAVA_MECA_8445516##In Murang’a, leaders KCB will be put to the test once again this week when they come up against fifth-placed Tusker.The Bankers, who are one of the last four unbeaten sides in the league, found a way to hold defending champions Gor Mahia to a barren draw, and could with a win extend their lead at the summit.They will hope to see an indifferent Tusker side, who are finding it tough to hold onto leads and have been asked to be more resilient.We must be consistent and resilient, Tusker coach puts players on noticeThe game kicks off at 1500 EAT.
