Second placed Bandari United will face AFC Leopards on Sunday at Mbaraki Sports Club as they hope to salvage their name after a humiliating loss to a coachless Kakamega Homeboyz.
Mathare United on the other hand will be hoping to capitalise on Bandari’s first loss of the league season. The team sitting on top spot play Mount Kenya United on Saturday at Afraha stadium, Nakuru and will be working to mantain their 6 point lead in the event that Bandari wins its subsequent match.
If Bandari drops points in its fixture, Mathare will be assured of a bigger gap which will be a safe relief for Mathare considering the fact that Bandari have a game in hand.
Now that Bandari are out of the unbeaten teams’ list, Mathare United and Sportpesa Cup winners Kariobangi Sharks remain to battle out who will blink first.
Sharks are 5th in the table, having drawn six matches out of the nine played losing none. The two teams played to a goalless draw in the slum derby on Wednesday at the Moi International Sports Centre.
Third placed Tusker are on tremendous form that Coach Robert Matano will be working to mantain when they play Posta Rangers on Saturday at Kenyatta Stadium in Machakos. The Brewers are the most likely victors in the match because Rangers are 17th in the 18-team table with relegation looming large.
