“Before the match, we will observe a minute of silence to mourn the death of Kenya's former President of Mwai Kibaki," Boimanda noted.

Tanzanian side Simba, who are second in the league with 41 points is home to Kenyan International defender Joash Onyango.
Young Africans, commonly known as 'Yanga' who are the league leaders with a total of 54 points are seeking to extend the gap between them and their arch-rivals.
The match between Simba and Yanga is referred to as the Kariakor Derby and if Yanga win, they will be assured of lifting the league trophy.
