Tusker vs Posta Rangers Prediction: A tough contest than on paper

Tusker is set to host Posta Rangers in the upcoming Round 14 Kenyan Premier League match at Ruaraka Stadium. Leading up to this fixture, both teams were unable to secure victories in their previous matchups.

Tusker enters this fixture on the heels of a goalless draw against AFC Leopards in the Premier League. Leading up to that draw, Tusker faced defeats against Ulinzi Stars and Muranga. However, the hosts found success against Sofapaka and Nairobi City, securing wins with scores of 0-1 and 3-1, respectively. In their last six fixtures, George Opondo's Tusker side has scored a total of 5 times, averaging 0.83 goals per match.

After experiencing a defeat in their recent Premier League match against Nairobi City Stars, Posta Rangers and their traveling supporters are eager for a more favorable outcome in this upcoming game. The lone goal by Samuel Kapen for Nairobi City Stars in the 17th minute proved decisive in the previous encounter. In five of the last six clashes involving Posta Rangers, there has been a relatively low number of goals scored between them and their opponents. The overall average goals per game during that period is modest at 1.83, with Posta Rangers averaging 1.17 goals.

The home team continues to grapple with challenges in reaching their peak performance, raising concerns about the level of play they will exhibit in this match. Meanwhile, despite holding the second position in the standings, Posta Rangers has managed only one win in their recent matches. Therefore, anticipating a closely contested game, I predict that both teams will score, making a draw a favorable outcome.
