Batoto ba Mungu will be out to make amends following their 2-0 loss to Bidco last weekend
Kariobangi Sharks will target a three-point haul in the Football Kenya Federation Premier League (FKFPL) when they host Sofapaka at Kasarani Annex Stadium on Friday.
Sharks are winless in their last five league matches, having recorded a goalless draw against AFC Leopards in their last outing.
As the home side, Kariobangi Sharks have won just two games on their patch in the 2022-2023 campaign, with three losses and three draws highlighting their inconsistencies.
Sharks head coach William Muluya was impressed by his side's display in their last game, and he hopes they will return to winning form in the league when they host Sofapaka.
"I will carry on the clean sheet, I will carry on the goalless draw, and I will carry on the one point, and we will build on from there," he said.

David Ouma, the Sofapaka head coach, was not happy with their loss against Bidco United, and he hinted that he is working to bring back a winning mentality in the team.
"We have not had enough energy for the last two matches to give our opponents competition. Regarding team organization, we should always try to influence the wide areas to get something out of it. We can do better," he said.
Sofapaka has no known injuries or suspension concerns, and they will seek inspiration from Ambrose Sifuna for goals.
