FKFPL AFC Leopards seek to inflict more misery on Nzoia Sugar as KCB target Murang'a Seal scalp
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.
Following a challenging period that saw them suffer a third loss in their last five league outings—a 1-0 defeat to Kenya Police on February 17—the Kisii-based team finds itself in a precarious position.
With just nine points from 11 home matches this season, Shabana’s form at home has been less than stellar.

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.
The meeting's outcome was a clear ultimatum for the club's management, led by chairman Jared Nivaton, mandating a turnaround in the team’s fortunes in the next three matches to avoid potential leadership changes.
On the other side, Bandari FC arrives in Machakos with a more positive outlook.

With nine points from their last five away matches, Bandari are in a comparatively stronger position, sitting sixth on the table with 37 points from as many matches.
This clash promises to be a significant test for both teams, as they seek to secure their objectives for the season.
Historically, the head-to-head record between Shabana and Bandari is limited, with just one previous encounter in the top flight.
That match, earlier this season, saw Bandari secure a 2-1 victory in Mombasa. As such, Shabana will be keen to even the score and claim vital points in their battle against relegation.
