Shabana FC is gearing up for a fierce battle as they prepare to face Kakamega Homeboyz in a Football Kenya Federation Premier League match at the Bukhungu Stadium this Sunday afternoon.

Coming off an impressive 1-1 draw against KCB last weekend, Shabana is determined to test the mettle of Kakamega Homeboyz, who have been enjoying a stellar run in the league.

Tore Bobe have been somewhat inconsistent, managing to secure victory in only two out of their 13 matches.

Shabana journey has been marked by a rollercoaster of form, with periods of success followed by dips in performance. However, their recent draw against KCB has injected a sense of hope and determination into the team, as they look to build on this result.

Kakamega Homeboyz, on the other hand, has been a formidable force in the league this season.

They are currently positioned fourth on the table with 24 points from 23 matches, just four points behind table leaders Gor Mahia.

With a recent 1-0 victory over Bidco United under their belt, Homeboyz is determined to close the gap at the top and challenge for the title.

In addition to this marquee matchup, football enthusiasts can look forward to another thrilling clash between Sofapaka and Kariobangi Sharks at Kenyatta Stadium.

Both teams are hungry for a win to bolster their standings, promising a contest that is bound to keep fans on the edge of their seats.

Meanwhile, Muhoroni Youth is set to face off against Police FC in what is expected to be an electrifying contest.

Fresh from a defeat against City Stars, Posta Rangers faces a stern test against Tusker, as both teams harbor hopes of securing victory.

A win for Rangers could propel them back to the top of the table if they manage to stun Tusker by a margin of more than one goal.

These developments come after the league leaders and defending champions, Gor Mahia, rallied from a two-goal deficit to secure a 2-2 draw against struggling Nzoia Sugar at Raila Odinga Stadium in Homa Bay.

Currently topping the standings with 28 points from 14 matches, Gor Mahia remains the team to beat, while the second-placed Rangers have gathered 25 points from 13 matches, keeping the title race intriguing.
