Barely a day after playing host to the first 'Mashemeji Derby' outside Nairobi, the Afraha Stadium will once more host another thrilling encounter when home team Ulinzi Stars takes on Posta Rangers in a friendly match to be played on Monday afternoon.
The two sides are gearing up for the 2018 Kenya Premier League season that kicks off in a weeks time.
Ulinzi will be hoping to reap massively from the match even as they plan to mount a formidable title hunt after a disappointing 2017 campaign and head coach Dunstan Nyaudo has backed his charges to impress.
The Soldiers will also be hoping to find a probable first eleven following the arrival if six new players into the team.
Rangers which features players such as Patrick Matasi will also be hoping to extend on the impressive pre-season campaign that has seen them win at least three of their previous encounters before their barren draw against Kericho Zoo last Saturday.
Ulinzi finished in a disappointing seventh position the previous season while the Mailmen were quite impressive finishing fourth behind eventual champions Gor Mahia, Sofapaka and Kariobangi Sharks.
