This is not where Mathare United, champions of 2008, had envisioned they would be in the Kenyan Premier League.

They are 17th in the 18-team log with a measly five points from six rounds of matches. They are in the danger zone. That they lost 5-1 to Ulinzi Stars only made things worse for the former champions.
