Tusker vs Talanta FC Prediction: Hosts will take advantage of the struggling Talanta

Safaricom Stadium Kasarani is set to host the round 26 Kenyan Premier League match between Tusker and Talanta FC. Neither team has managed to secure a victory in their recent matches. How will this match unfold?

Tusker faced misfortune last weekend against Kariobangi Sharks, suffering a 3-2 loss on the road in that league encounter. John Makwatta netted twice for Kariobangi Sharks. However, Dennis Oguta and Deogratious Ojok managed to level the scores twice for Tusker. Nevertheless, a late 79th-minute strike by Julius Masaba secured all three points for Kariobangi Sharks, extending Tusker's consecutive defeats to two in a row. Prior to these defeats, Tusker had secured four wins in their last four games against Shabana, KCB, Muhoroni Youth, and Leopards. The hosts currently sit 4th in the standings, having amassed 43 points from 25 league games.

Talanta FC suffered a 1-2 loss against Police FC in their recent league fixture. In this match, they conceded their first goal in the 49th minute, courtesy of Tito Okello's strike. However, Kevin Tom Machika managed to equalize for them in the 56th minute. Unfortunately, Okello's second goal in the 85th minute handed Talanta FC a defeat. As they head into this upcoming encounter, Talanta FC have struggled to secure a win in their last seven league games, experiencing three losses and four draws during this period. Throughout these matches, the visiting side scored eight goals but conceded twelve.

I have confidence in the hosts, Tusker. While they may not be the dominant force they once were, they have displayed quality in recent months. Conversely, Talanta FC is still grappling with challenges, with the threat of relegation looming over them. Although this match could be tightly contested, I believe Tusker will emerge victorious with a 2-0 scoreline.
