Wazito, who have roped in Kenya Under-20 winger Musa Masika from Kangemi AllStars, host Migori Youth at Camp Toyoyo grounds on Saturday.

Wazito are on a good run since Fred Ambani and Hamisi Muhammed took over that has seen them win three games on the trot.
Migori on their side are languishing in the relegation zone with their only win this month coming against City Stars, a 1-0 victory on March 3 in Awendo.
Kibera Black Stars will be out to upset the Ken Kenyatta-coached Ushuru - who edged Fortune Sacco 2-1 in a midweek fixture at Ruaraka grounds.
On Sunday, Nairobi Stima host their coastal counterparts, Coast Stima at Karuturi grounds.
“We will not underrate them,” noted Nairobi Stima coach George Owoko, whose side lost 1-0 away to Kisumu AllStars in midweek that ended their 20-match unbeaten run.
“They (Coast Stima) are so stubborn when in possession, but we will deny them the ball,” he added “I have new players but they are gelling well.”
Kisumu AllStars visit Talanta in the second match scheduled for Camp Toyoyo grounds on Sunday.
“The win against Nairobi Stima placed us at a better position to fight for a place in SPL,” AllStars coach Francis “Killer” Oduor said.
“We are determined to collect maximum points in this second leg.”
