The Kenya Premier League resumes this weekend with matchday six set to take center stage. Ahead of the action, we discuss the key talking points from the fixture list.
Will AFC Leopards finally overcome Western Stima?
AFC Leopards will host Western Stima at the Kenyatta Stadium in Machakos with full knowledge that their reco against the Electricians is nowhere near good enough.
In the last six matches between the two, Leopards has won just once with Stima winning three while the rest were stalemates. Both teams are doing really well this season with Leopards second in the table while Stima is fifth but just a point behind Cassa Mbungoand his team.
Will it be the same old story r has AFC Leopards turned a corner this season
Chemelil need points
Zero points from the first four matches is an embarrassing return on any level. Chemelil Sugar is in desperate need of points but against a Bandari side that has title aspirations this weekend, the wait could go on.
However, should Francis Baraza come out of Mombasa with a positive result, it could the perfect kickstart to their season.
Crunch time for Wazito
Usually, a team takes at least five matches to fully settle into a new league. Wazito has now played five top-flight matches and it’s about time they started delivering performances as well as results.
12th in the league with just six points, the standings do not reflect well for the team who expect to see themselves higher up the table. A win against Kakamega Homeboyz would go a long way in instilling confidence for the moneybags.
Will Tusker’s fine form continue?
Robert Matano and his Tusker FC side have been racking up the points with three straight wins prior to the international break and sit just two points behind leaders Gor Mahia.
With a clash against struggling Sony Sugar on Saturday, Tusker could make it 4 wins from 4!
