Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>National Super League log leaders Shabana have a chance of increasing their lead at the top of the table to nine points when they take on Mwatate United at Wundanyi Stadium in Taita Taveta County on Friday.<\/p>\n

Shabana lead the log with 48 points followed by Murang\u2019a Seals with 41 but the Kisii-based side have played two more games than Seal.<\/p>\n

With 10 games to go, Shabana remains favourite to lift the NSL title and gain promotion to the Kenya Premier League.<\/p>\n

Buoyed by their 3-2 comeback win against Mara Sugar on Sunday, Shabana coach Sammy Okoth has told his charges to maintain the push.<\/p>\n

Coach Okoth said: \u201cWe showed character against Mara Sugar and we need to maintain the momentum as the league hits the home straight.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMwatate are a good side and we don\u2019t want to underrate them. We shall approach the game better than we did in the last game against Mara Sugar. As I said earlier, all our remaining matches are like finals so we are going for victory,\u201d added the tactician.<\/p>\n

In other matches scheduled for Friday, Mombasa Elites welcome Darajani Gogo at Mbaraki Sports Club while SS Assad entertain Mully Children\u2019s Family (MCF) at Shamu Grounds in Kwale County.<\/p>\n

On Saturday, second-placed Murang\u2019a Seal have a chance to reduce Shabana\u2019s lead when they travel to Bomet for an encounter against struggling Silibwet Leones while third-placed Gusii FC will battle it out with Mara Sugar at Awendo Green Stadium.<\/p>\n

On Monday, Gusii drubbed Vihiga United 5-2 to revive their promotion hopes.<\/p>\n

Kajiado FC hosts stuttering Kisumu All Stars on Saturday at Ildamat playground in Kajiado county. <\/b>On Sunday, Kiajiado suffered a humiliating 5-0 loss against promotion-chasing Murang\u2019a Seal at St Sebastian Park.<\/p>\n

Fresh from their 4-1 drubbing against Mwatate United, Kibera Black Stars face Naivas FC at Camp Toyoyo as relegation-threatened Vihiga United play Migori Youth at Mumias Sports Complex.<\/p>\n
