The Kenya Premier League enters matchday six this weekend. 7 Matches have been scheduled to take place and in this article, we look at the things to look forward to from the matches.
New Dawn For Wazito
After just one win from the first six matches, this season, Kenya Premier League moneybags Wazito FC sacked their head coach Fred Ambani and his assistant Stanley Okumbi. The sacking followed a humiliating 4-2 defeat at the hands of Kakamega Homeboyz.
The club has since hired Melis Medo as the new head coach and will make his debut this weekend against Sony Sugar. Is he the man to unlock Wazito FC’s huge potential? Time will tell…
Will Tusker FC pass the Ulinzi test?
With Gor Mahia on continental duties this weekend, Robert Matanos Tusker has the chance of moving top of the table with a win. However, the Brewers will be up against the 2010 Champions Ulinzi Stars at the Afraha Stadium.
The Soldiers are unbeaten in three home matches this season and could prove to be the barrier between Tusker and the table summit.
Sofapaka to test AFC Leopards resolve
Since losing their first match of the season against Kakamega Homeboyz, AFC Leopards has remained unbeaten and sit in third on the log. With four clean sheets from their last five matches, Leopards will face a stern test against a Sofapaka side that has found the net in all of their past four matches.
The final result from the match will tell just how far AFC Leopards rebuilding process under Cassa Mbungo is.
Will Kariobangi Sharks end the woeful run of form?
Kariobangi Sharks only win this season came against a Chemelil side that looks destined for relegation come the end of the season. William Muluhyas team has already lost twice this season and the performances have not been convincing either.
Sitting just two points above the relegation zone, Sharks will be up against a Nzoia Sugar side high on confidence after winning last weekend against Sofapaka.
