Vihiga Queens will hope to end their winless streak  against Nakuru Queens when the two teams face off in a Kenyan Premier League match at the Nakuru ASK grounds on Sunday. 

Nakuru have never lost to Vihiga at home and their last encounter ended in a two-all draw. However, Vihiga Queens head coach Boniface Nyamunyamu is confident of bagging maximum points based on their current form. 

"The aim is to break the jinx. It is very much possible to get all the points because we look unstoppable at the moment," Nyamunyamu said.

The Cecafa club champions have won 10 of their 11 matches and currently sit at the top of the table with 31 points, nine clear of second-placed Ulinzi Starlets. 

Elsewhere, Bunyore Starlets are banking on home advantage to silence Wadadia. The newbies will hope to exact revenge on their opponents who humiliated them 6-0 in their first leg fixture at Mumboha grounds. 

Bunyore coach Daniel Arunga said they want to set records straight by getting the better of their neighbours.

"The 6-0 loss affected the players' mentally but we have the chance to redeem ourselves especially playing at home."

Ulinzi will go for routine win against bottom side Kangemi Ladies whom they thumped 6-2 during the first leg. 

Kangemi have won only once this season but coach Joseph Odhiambo previously stated that the team will avoid relegation should they produce a string of impressive results in the second leg.
