Leopards could jump to seventh with a win against Nzoia Sugar, while KCB will be hoping to stop their nasty league form which has carried on since January when they face Murang'a Seal.
Twelve-time Football Kenya Federation Premier League (FKFPL) champions AFC Leopards will be hosting Nzoia Sugar FC in a match set to take place at the Nyayo National Stadium from 4 PM on Sunday, hoping to maintain their good run of form that has seen them win seven of their last nine games.
Leopards, who started the season slowly due to multiple issues both on and off the pitch, look settled under Tomas Trucha, who is back at the club for a second stint at the helm of the club.
They sit eighth on 31 points and could be seventh by the end of the day should they beat the struggling Sugar Millers, leapfrogging Ingo rivals Kakamega Homeboyz in the process.

FOOTBALL Gor Mahia return to winning ways in emphatic style as they open 10-point lead
Gor Mahia put 10-man Posta Rangers to the sword as they banished their disappointing FKF Cup exit to open a 10-point lead at the top of the FKF Premier League table.
In 22 games, they have won seven, drawn 10 and lost five, with Trucha losing just three games while previous incumbent Tom Juma lost the other two in the six matches he coached.
Nzoia Sugar by contrast have been big let downs this season. Having surprisingly challenged for the title last season, they have failed to replicate their form from last season, and are rock-bottom of the table.
They suspended their coach Geoffrey Oduor in January after he was involved in a stand off with Football Kenya Federation and gave the job to Steve Biko, who has lost all his four games in charge of the club.
They have won four, drawn four and lost the other 14 of their 22 games and can ill afford to keep losing if they are to stay afloat of the league by the end of the season.
The match will be beamed live on Azam TV.
