Nzoia Sugar FC, on the other hand, finds itself in a desperate battle against relegation and their precarious position makes them unpredictable and possibly more dangerous as they fight for their survival in the top flight.
"We have trained hard through this weather that has been rocking the whole nation. Our focus has been mainly on Nzoia, which we know is a good team. We have prepared well for the game tomorrow and hopefully we can get positive results. We expect a tough game from our opponents," said a Tusker defender Eugene Asike in a pre-match interview.

Austin Odhiambo: Gor Mahia coach Johnathan McKinstry in awe of multifaceted midfielder
Gor Mahia coach Johnathan McKinstry has lauded the different qualities of midfielder Austin Odhiambo which makes him capable of adapting to numerous roles in the side.
The first encounter between these two teams this season ended in a 2-0 victory for Tusker in Bungoma. However, Nzoia's desperate situation could add an extra layer of intensity to the rematch.
"It's a team that they believe can still stay in the league so we are not expecting an easy game from them, we are expecting a really tough game so we have to go out there as well, we show great desire and commitment during the game," Asike added.
The history between the two teams shows Tusker's dominance with six wins out of 11 league matches since 2017, with Nzoia managing just two victories, and the remaining three games ending in draws.
"Yes, we lost three games but as a team it was a loss but we took it as a lesson. So I believe the last game we won against Ulinzi brought a good factor back into the team. I believe we can carry the momentum we had in our last game to the game," Asike noted.
