Thika, who are at the base of the SPL table, will play guests to Nzoia at the Sudi Stadium in Bungoma, while newbies Wazito will host Zoo at Camp Toyoyo as they fight to avoid returning to the lower tier.
It will be another chance for Bandari goalkeeper Farouk Shikhalo to firm up his chances of winning this season’s Golden Glove as his team welcome Nakumatt to Mombasa.
