The match comes during the ongoing Kenya Cup and Championship break with the fixture having been originally slated for November but was postponed after Kisii RFC requested a deferment due to logistical challenges.
Both clubs later agreed on a new date of 7 February, ensuring the tie is finally played.
Pirates head into the contest looking to bounce back following a narrow 26–21 home defeat to JKUAT Cougars last weekend, while Kisii RFC make the trip to the Coast aiming for a strong return to competitive action away from home.
