Police face City Stars, Gor Mahia take on KCB in double header

‎Kenya Police FC, the current league leaders with 48 points, will be aiming to tighten their grip at the top when they take on Nairobi City Stars at Kenyatta Stadium from 1pm.

City Stars, who sit at the foot of the table, will be desperate to spring a surprise as they fight for survival.

‎Tusker FC, just a point behind with 47, face a tricky away tie against Mara Sugar at Awendo’s Green Stadium. The Brewers know that nothing short of victory will keep their title hopes alive.

Defending champions Gor Mahia, third on 46 points, host KCB FC in a mouth-watering clash in Machakos.

K’Ogalo will be eyeing a win to reduce the gap between them and the summit to just one point. KCB, sitting fifth with 40 points, are also in the hunt for a strong finish.

‎In the lower half of the table, Kariobangi Sharks—currently 12th, will be keen to build momentum when they face Talanta FC, who are teetering just two points above the relegation zone. Talanta come into the tie buoyed by a 2-0 win over Sofapaka, although their last encounter with Sharks ended in a 1-1 draw.

‎Elsewhere, troubled Murang’a Seal will be hoping for a fresh start under new head coach Yusuf Chippo as they welcome fellow strugglers Bidco United in Murang’a.

Seal are winless in their last 11 outings and their last victory dates back to December 2024. Their recent 3-0 drubbing by Shabana FC led to the resignation of former coach John Njogu.

‎Posta Rangers, who suffered a 3-2 loss on Saturday, find themselves just two spots above the relegation zone on 25 points—facing a nervous wait depending on Sunday’s results. Meanwhile, Mathare United climbed to 10th with 33 points following their recent win.

‎In another fixture, a revitalized Shabana will face Bandari FC following their commanding 3-0 victory over Murang’a Seal. Shabana head coach Peter Okidi has called on fans to rally behind the team as they push for a strong finish.

‎“Fans have been backing us for long and we hope they won’t give up. We’re aiming to finish among the top teams in the KPL and even go for trophies,” said Okidi.
