The FKF Premier League continues this weekend with thrilling fixtures in Matchweek 7, as KCB FC, sitting at the top of the table, hosts fifth-placed Tusker FC on Saturday, October 26. Both teams will be looking to consolidate their positions in a highly competitive season.
KCB FC comes into this encounter with an unbeaten record (4 wins, 2 draws), leading the table with 14 points. However, their most recent match ended in a goalless draw against defending champions Gor Mahia, showing the importance of maintaining momentum. With home advantage at the SportPesa Arena, the bankers will aim to strengthen their grip at the summit. Tusker FC, on the other hand, is on 9 points after six games (2 wins, 3 draws, and 1 loss) and played to a 1-1 draw last week against Ulinzi Stars. A win for Tusker could be crucial as they look to close the gap and jump back into title contention.
Another exciting game on Saturday will see Kariobangi Sharks, currently second in the standings with 11 points, take on Shabana FC at Dandora Stadium. Sharks will be eager to bounce back after a narrow 1-0 defeat to Bidco United. Shabana FC, still winless with only 2 points, is in desperate need of a victory to climb out of the relegation zone.
In the day’s first fixture, Mathare United hosts FC Talanta. Mathare is struggling near the bottom of the table with just 5 points, and a win is crucial for the 2008 champions as they face Talanta, who held Bandari to a goalless draw in their last outing.
On Sunday, October 27, Posta Rangers, coming off a 1-1 draw against Mara Sugar, will battle Ulinzi Stars at Machakos Stadium. Ulinzi is still looking for their first win of the season and finds themselves just above the relegation zone with three points. A victory could provide much-needed breathing space.
The matchweek concludes on Monday, October 28, with Nairobi City Stars taking on Gor Mahia. City Stars remain winless after five games and sit bottom of the league with only two points. Gor Mahia, though unbeaten, has been inconsistent, with a series of draws in their recent fixtures. They will be hoping to find their rhythm and keep pace with the top teams.
With teams eager to either stay in the title race or fight off relegation pressure, Matchweek 7 promises excitement and drama across all venues.
