Muranga vs Tusker Prediction: Tusker to close the league gap with a close victory

SportPesa Arena will be the venue for the round 11 Kenyan Premier League encounter between Muranga and Tusker. The two teams secured a win in their last league games and will hope for a similar outcome here. Which side keeps things rolling?

Muranga pulled off a 0-1 win over Sofapaka the previous time out and will hope to keep things rolling. In that game, Muranga needed a 59th-minute strike to take maximum points, thanks to Jackson Irungu Macharia’s strike. However, prior encounters to that win saw Muranga go three matches without a win, losing to Shabana and Kakamega Homeboyz while drawing Gor Mahia. This season, Muranga have 12 points from 10 games, leaving them seated 9th in the standings.

Tusker secured a hard-fought victory over Mara Sugar the previous time out in the league and will be confident enough to display that level of performance. In a game that ended 2-1, Siwa Shaphan and Ryan Ogam's strikes were enough to seal maximum points for this side. However, Tusker have won three of their last five games, defeating Talanta FC and Nairobi City Stars in that run. This season, Tusker have 15 points from a possible 27, leaving them seated 4th in the standings. 

The two teams have a lot to give in this game, as there are many expectations from these sides following a win in their last matches. However, Tusker have been the better side lately, and looking at their overall performances, I will lean on them in this fixture. While Muranga have not been too far from it this season, I see them pulling in strong performances in this game. Bet on a few goals in this game as the two teams will focus on avoiding defeat while Tusker take maximum points.
