Former Kenya Cup side Strathmore Leos and Masinde Muliro University of Science and Technology (MMUST RFC) will be seeking to continue their good run in the 2019-20 KRU Championship season as they take on SC Pirates and University of Eldoret respectively.
Leos top the standings with 19 points, two more than second-placed MMUST, and captain Gabriel Adero said they long to beat Pirates and bounce back to Kenya Cup.
“Our performances are getting better steadily. We started the campaign on a high note and we want to win against Pirates. But we must be cautious since every team is strong in the championship,” he said.
In Kakamega, MMUST will be aiming for their fifth consecutive win in their second season in the championship when they welcome University of Eldoret Trojans at MMUST Grounds.
“The team is focused and ready to win their matches. After our win in Kisii, we are confident of a win,” MMUST captain Samuel Mbeche said.
