When Dennis Okari and Betty Kyallo walked down the aisle in a grand wedding, many thought it was a love story destined for happily ever after. However, Okari has revealed that he later realised Betty was never meant to be his wife. He admitted that he wished he had never gone through with the wedding, as it was an attempt to 'correct a wrong' rather than a decision rooted in God’s plan.

Judging by their previous run, the Dockers have only registered one win in the last four matches, and a win against Talanta would see the side climb to the ninth position on the log.

Hassan Abdallah will be the player to watch on the Bandari side. The experienced marksman will look forward to facing one of his favorite opponents, having scored two times in two league games against Talanta. Abdallah has what it takes to inspire the Dockers to win.

Meanwhile, FC Talanta claimed their first win in their last six matches when they beat Wazito 3-0 away in a league encounter on Wednesday.

Having won only three games in the FKF Premier League this season, Talanta are placed 14th, two points behind 12th-placed Bandari.

A home win over Bandari will see Talanta sail to the 10th position on the log as they seek to fulfill their mission to collect points as much as possible.

In-form striker Brian Yakhama will the attack for Ken Kenyatta's side in their hunt for their fifth win of the season.

The skillful attacker constantly threatened Wazito during their previous league encounter as he beat his markers with his silky dribbling skills and mesmerizing speed. Yakhama will be keen to create problems for the Bandari defense.

In head-to-head stats, Bandari and FC Talanta have met in just two league matches, both ending in favor of the Dockers.

The Mombasa-based side recorded a 3-0 win in the first leg of the 2021/2022 season before claiming a 2-0 win in the second leg match played on March 9, 2022 at Kasarani Stadium.
