Naivas open gap, Mathare and Nairobi United falter
Naivas FC put themselves in a pole position to clinch the National Super League (NSL) title and earn subsequent promotion to the second tier with a 4-1 win over Mombasa Stars on Saturday.
League leaders Naivas FC will open the weekend in an early kick-off at the Kenyatta Stadium in Machakos facing Migori Youth in a must-win tie if they are to dream of promotion this term.
In the reverse fixture, the two sides played to a barren draw cementing the growing complexity of the tie. Out of the previous five meetings, both sides have won once with three encounters ending in a stalemate.
A win for the retailers will take them three points ahead of second-placed Mathare who tackle to the green grass on Sunday while maximum points for Migori will lift them to fifth, seven points off the top.
