The Eastern Giants lie 8th on the table with 13 points, while the Prison Warders are in 11th with 12 points.
Abbey Bogere’s men looked poised to win their last game against Express FC, only to be denied by a late equalizer in the 89th minute.
This has largely been a mixed-bag season for the Giants, with three wins, four draws, and two losses in nine league games.
Team News:
Isaac Wagoina will undergo a late fitness test, while Thomas Ochungo will be unavailable for tomorrow’s game.
Coach Abbey’s Remarks:
“We lost two points against Express in our last game, but now we face Maroons, who have just won their away game against Bright Stars. It’s going to be a tough match, but we want the points away from home. We’ll fight tooth and nail to get the maximum points and close the gap on the table.”
Assistant Captain Walter Ochora’s Thoughts:
“We’re more prepared, and the boys are positive in the camp. We lost concentration in the last minute against Express, but we’ve rectified our mistakes, and we’ll go home victorious.”

Both teams have clashed 12 times, resulting in eight BUL wins, two for Maroons, and two draws.
