At St. Sebastian Park in Murang’a, Police meet Tusker in a clash that pits last season’s champions against the 12-time title winners. Police are still nursing the sting of their 2–0 defeat to Gor Mahia—a result that abruptly halted their momentum and raised questions about their sharpness in big matches. Victory today would steady their campaign and push them back toward the top half of the table.
Tusker arrive with renewed confidence after edging Bidco United 1–0, a match settled by a decisive moment from forward Dennis Oalo. The Brewers know a win would lift them into second place and reinforce their status as genuine contenders for a record-extending 13th league crown. With both sides possessing disciplined defensive units and experienced cores, the match promises a tense, tactical battle.
Later at Nyayo Stadium, AFC Leopards host Murang’a Seal in another fixture loaded with narrative. Leopards saw their three-match winning streak snapped dramatically when Mara Sugar handed them a 2–0 defeat—an outcome that not only ended their unbeaten run but also disrupted what had looked like a steady resurgence. With 12 points on the board, Ingwe can climb as high as second with a win, depending on the result in Murang’a.
Murang’a Seal, meanwhile, continue fighting to rise from the lower end of the standings. They earned a respectable point against Kakamega Homeboyz in their last outing but remain 15th, a position that heightens the importance of every match. Three points at Nyayo would vault them into the upper mid-table and mark a strong statement in a season where consistency has eluded them.
With Gor Mahia holding a slim lead at the top and the chasing pack tightly clustered, today’s encounters carry weight beyond the three points on offer. For Police and Leopards, it is a chance to reset and reassert themselves. For Tusker and Seal, it is an opportunity to climb, to pressure the frontrunners, and to reshape the complexion of the league table as matchweek eight comes to a close.
