Kapaito grabbed a brace in the game and once again he could prove key when the two teams face off on Monday afternoon. Baron Oketch has been impressive in recent weeks and he will be the key man for Juma Abdalla’s side.For Sharks, their run has been poor in the league, they were once in the race for the title but have since dropped out and trail leaders Tusker by a whopping 13 points. The match side presents them with an opportunity to get their second win on the spin.The Kisumu-based side has not beaten Sharks in the last five encounters. Sharks have registered two wins while the other three games have ended in draws and on Monday they face a tall order of ending the winless run against William Muluya’s side.#FKFPL match of the day!Kariobangi Sharks v Western Stima Who’s your favorite team? pic.twitter.com/4xhizkEuis— FlashScore.co.ke 🇰🇪 (@FlashScoreKE) July 5, 2021 Stima are firmly in the relegation zone and need to amass as many points as possible at this stage. They are just two points above bottom-placed Mathare United and any further slip-ups could see them lose ground in the fight against the drop, they went down in 2017 and they are desperate not to take that route again as with their current financial struggles, bouncing back may prove to be a tall order.
