Nairobi United will be hoping to keep their title defence alive when they face a tough test against KCB tomorrow at Ulinzi Sports Complex as eight teams battle for a place in the last four of Kenya’s top domestic cup competition.
The champions reached this stage after a strong 2-0 win over Posta Rangers in the round of 16. KCB also impressed as they beat Chebaiywa Lions 3-0 to book their place in the quarter-finals.
Their meeting is expected to be one of the biggest matches of the weekend because both sides have shown good form and have serious ambitions of lifting the FKF Cup.
Another big clash will see Ulinzi Stars take on Tusker tomorrow afternoon at the same venue.
Tusker edged Kariobangi Sharks 1-0 in the last round, while Ulinzi Stars also secured a narrow 1-0 victory over Kakamega Homeboyz. With both teams strong in defence, fans can expect a close and competitive contest.
