Gor Mahia target another victory
Gor Mahia will be the team to watch as they seek to extend their winning run against Bandari FC. The record Kenyan champions opened their campaign with a 4-2 victory over Murang’a Seal before edging APS Bomet 1-0, courtesy of Alpha Onyango’s late strike.
The defending champions will look to maintain their attacking momentum while improving defensively after conceding twice in their season opener. Bandari, meanwhile, will be eager to frustrate the hosts and collect valuable points.
AFC Leopards face Shabana test
AFC Leopards face a potentially demanding assignment against Shabana FC on Sunday as both sides look to strengthen their early-season positions.
Ingwe have made a promising start, while Shabana will be determined to secure a statement result against one of the league’s most popular clubs. The encounter could prove important in shaping the early standings.
Other matches to watch
KCB will open the weekend’s action against Posta Rangers on Friday, looking to build on their 1-0 victory over Mathare United. Ulinzi Stars face Mara Sugar on Saturday, while Nairobi United meet APS Bomet in another contest where both sides will be targeting maximum points.
Sunday’s programme also features 3K FC against Murang’a Seal, Migori Youth against Mathare United, and Mombasa United against Kenya Police FC.
With the season still in its early stages, the weekend offers clubs an opportunity to establish consistency, improve their league positions and build momentum ahead of the next round of fixtures.
