Sharks host struggling Bomet
Attention now shifts to Kasarani Annex, where Kariobangi Sharks host APS Bomet. The newcomers, nicknamed the Black Berets, are enduring a torrid start to life in the top flight, having lost all three of their opening matches.
Bomet’s baptism by fire began with a 4-2 defeat to Shabana FC, followed by a 2-0 home loss to Murang’a Seal. Their most recent setback came against reigning champions Kenya Police FC, who edged them 1-0, a result that led to the suspension of head coach Michael Nam.
For Sharks, the fixture presents a chance to climb the table and build momentum after last weekend’s 2-1 win over Mathare United. Goals from Markvivan Kesa and an own goal secured the victory, while Mathare’s Elie Asieche netted a late consolation.
Under head coach William Muluya, the Sharks have shown flashes of promise. They opened their campaign with draws against Bandari FC and Ulinzi Stars, followed by a narrow 1-0 defeat to KCB. With two draws, one win, and one loss, they’ll be looking to establish consistency against a side still chasing its first point of the season.
Homeboyz face Ulinzi in Kakamega
In Kakamega, Kakamega Homeboyz host Ulinzi Stars at Bukhungu Stadium. Homeboyz are in high spirits after a 3-1 win over Bidco United last weekend, bringing their tally to two wins, one draw, and one loss.
Their season began with a goalless draw against Mara Sugar, followed by a 1-0 win over Sofapaka. A 2-0 defeat to Nairobi United briefly halted their momentum before they bounced back impressively against Bidco.
Ulinzi Stars, meanwhile, are seeking redemption after a 2-1 loss to Mara Sugar. The Soldiers started strongly with a 1-0 win over Murang’a Seal, but two consecutive goalless draws against Sharks and Kenya Police have exposed their attacking struggles. A win at Bukhungu would provide a much-needed boost for coach Benjamin Nyangweso’s side.
Leopards meet KCB in high-stakes clash
Later in the day, a high-stakes encounter awaits at the Ulinzi Sports Complex, where AFC Leopards take on KCB FC.
Despite being unbeaten, Leopards have drawn all three of their opening matches, a run that has left fans calling for sharper finishing and more creativity in attack. A win today would not only lift spirits but also ease growing pressure around the club.
Their opponents, Robert Matano’s KCB, have had a mixed start to the season. They opened with a 2-0 win over Tusker FC, courtesy of a Boniface Omondi “Bajaj” brace, but later suffered a 1-0 defeat to Mathare United. A win over Sharks followed, before a narrow 1-0 loss to Gor Mahia in Dandora.
