Shabana FC will be aiming to end their two-match drawing run when they host Migori Youth at Afraha Stadium later today in the FKF Premier League.

The Kisii-based side have collected five points from their opening three matches, but consecutive draws have slowed their progress after a winning start.

Their latest result was a goalless stalemate against AFC Leopards last week.

Thursday's fixture gives Shabana a chance to return to winning ways and move to eight points, a tally that could take them into second place depending on other results.

However, Migori Youth will be looking to frustrate the hosts as they continue their search for a first victory since earning promotion to the top flight.

Coach Salim Babu's team have started their maiden Premier League campaign without a defeat but have struggled to turn that record into maximum points.

The newcomers are already close to the relegation zone, making Thursday's match an important opportunity to improve their position.

Migori missed the second round of fixtures before returning to action last week.

They will now attempt to build on their unbeaten start by collecting three points against a Shabana side eager to make home advantage count.

The hosts have shown they can pick up points, but their recent draws have left them needing a stronger attacking return.

Migori, meanwhile, must find a way to turn their resilience into victories if they are to establish themselves in the top flight.

With Shabana chasing a place near the summit and Migori searching for their first win, the encounter presents both teams with different objectives.
