As the FKF Premier League rolls into matchday three, Nairobi City Stars are set for an exciting clash against Mara Sugar on Saturday at Awendo Green Stadium. The match, kicking off at 3 p.m., marks the first-ever meeting between the two sides, adding an element of unpredictability to the encounter.

City Stars will make two key changes from the squad that drew 1-1 with Bidco United last weekend. Left-backs Rogers Wasega and Stephen Bulugu are out, with Wasega earning a call-up to Kenya’s U-20 team ahead of CECAFA duty, while Bulugu misses out due to a slight injury.

Their spots have been filled by new signing Brian Opinde and defensive midfielder Clifford Ouma.

Despite these changes, the rest of the squad remains intact as Simba wa Nairobi seek their first win of the season. Coach Nicholas Muyoti will be looking to lead his side to victory against Mara Sugar, a newly promoted team that has already caused a stir in the league.
