Muranga vs Posta Rangers Prediction: The home team will eke to victory

SportPesa Arena will host week 14 of the Kenyan Premier League encounter between Muranga and Posta Rangers. The two meetings between these sides saw Posta Rangers win each. Can Muranga, in better shape, win this time?

Muranga pulled off a surprising road win over Mathare United the previous time out and will hope for a similar outcome here. In a game that ended 0-2, Muranga scored in each half, with Tyson Kapchanga and Joe Waithira netting. However, that win was Muranga’s second in recent games, having defeated Sofapaka in week 10. In the meantime, Muranga lost to Shabana, Tusker, and Nairobi City Stars, ending 0-1, 1-3, and 1-0. This season, Muranga have 15 points accumulated from 13 matches, leaving them seated in the 13th spot. 

Posta Rangers settled for a 1-1 draw the previous time out and will hope for an even better result here. Posta Rangers needed to come from behind in that encounter to avoid a defeat, with Brian Otieno netting for this side after Moses Shumah had put their opponent in the lead. However, Posta Rangers have failed to win any of their last four games, losing to Kariobangi Sharks while drawing two others. Posta Rangers have 11 points this season and sit bottom of the standings with nine goals scored and sixteen conceded. 

Posta Rangers have been playing better lately, but I do not see them taking a point in this game. While Muranga were brilliant the previous time out, I do not still see them as competitive enough, looking at how weak they have been in the majority of their matches. The two teams have a lot to respond to, given how inconsistent they have been all season. This should be a low-scoring one at the end, but a win for Muranga is a good option as home favourites with huge fan support.
