Magongo lost their first match this season,going down 1-0 to Sparkie Youth on the road.They tied K Sharks at home before beating Iron Strikers by a solitary goal.They flip flopped their next 4 matches,losing at Congo then tying at Mahakama....then losing at Gatundu before tying AP at home.They ran a 3 game losing streak,on the road against Bandari,NBI Stima and Thola Glass.They tied Kibera Celtic on the road before running a 3 match unbeaten run of their own,at home to Berets,Moyas and Mathare United.
Their next 2 matches were a lose at home to Admiral and on the road to Coast United.

The last five matches,though,do not fully mirror Magongo's weaknesses.They have won 2,tied once and lost twice.They are placed at mid table,surprisingly above Sparkie Youth and Bandari.
At home,they have had 9 of a possible 15 points in the last 5 games.The road spells doom:They have tied 2 and lost 3 for only two of a possible 15 points.They are 18th,a step above Thola Glass and Sparkie Youth,and have scored 4 and conceded 9.
