After a two-week break, the National Super League returns with four matches lined up on Saturday. League leaders Naivas FC will open the weekend in an early kick-off at the Kenyatta Stadium in Machakos facing Migori Youth in a must-win tie if they are to dream of promotion this term. Under the tutelage of Collins Omondi, the retailers have found themselves in muggy waters failing to win in two consecutive matches for the first time this season, the chain marketers-sponsored club suffered a 4-3 defeat to Rainbow before playing out a one-all draw with Darajani Gogo, a performance that threatens their top of the table status. ##NAJAVA_MECA_7923309##Migori, currently sixth on the log and 10 points behind the leaders, will be keen to kickstart Sammy Okoth’s tenure with a win as they seek to map a route to the FKF Premier League at the end of the season. The border club, however, heads into the game with a better record than the opposition having featured in four league games without defeat that is two wins and draws. In the reverse fixture, the two sides played to a barren draw cementing the growing complexity of the tie. Out of the previous five meetings, both sides have won once with three encounters ending in a stalemate. A win for the retailers will take them three points ahead of second-placed Mathare who tackle to the green grass on Sunday while maximum points for Migori will lift them to fifth, seven points off the top.

Villa, who are slowly picking form after a major overhaul in the mid-season transfer window will be hoping to do a double over Yamama and keep the invisible home record. Tom Tera’s men remain the only side yet to lose a home game this term. The 2022/2023 FKF Division One champions will miss the services of striker Timothy Ndayala who is expected to resume training next week but have a boost in the defense line with former Mulembe United right-back Oscar Wanambisi available for selection. A win for either side will guarantee them a place in the top eight suppose Rainbow fails to win their weekend duel.

Silibwet come into the match as the worst performer in the league having gone nine matches without a win including four consecutive defeats and five draws. Furthermore, the Erick Rono-coached club has struggled defensively going 13 matches without a clean sheet. On the other hand, despite major reshuffles in the transfer window, Kajiado finds themselves with a win in 13 league matches a run that threatens their stay in the second tier having acquired the slot from Dandora Love two seasons ago. Francis Xavier will be hoping to break the Silibwet jinx as they remain winless in all three meet-ups against them. A win for Kajiado will move them to fourteenth on the log. The final match of the day will see relegation-battling Gusii FC host Darajani Gogo at Cardinal Otunga High School Mosocho Grounds with the duo looking to return to winning ways.
