Africa-Press – Kenya. After last Sunday’s thrilling Mashemeji derby victory over Gor Mahia, AFC Leopards head into Kasarani Stadium for the eagerly-awaited duel against leaders Kenya Police with momentum on their side.
The win was more than just three points—it was a statement. Confidence is high, morale is soaring, and the Leopards are ready to challenge Kenya Police at the top of the Kenyan Premier League.
Head coach Fred Ambani summed up the mood.
“The win against Gor Mahia was monumental for us. It has given the players a significant boost in confidence. We are focused and ready to take on Kenya Police. They are a strong side, but we believe in our squad’s ability to compete and deliver results.”
But Kenya Police are no strangers to pressure. Sitting atop the league with 20 points—just a point ahead of Gor Mahia—they know they have a target on their backs. Head coach Dušan Stojanović is keen to keep the momentum:
“We respect AFC Leopards, but our goal is clear: to consolidate our position at the top. This match is crucial, and we must play smart and disciplined to ensure we secure the three points.”
Expect a tactical chess match. The Leopards will ride the wave of derby heroics, while Kenya Police will rely on structure and consistency. Kasarani promises drama, tension, and moments that could decide the title race.
Earlier in the day, Sofapaka host Tusker FC at Ulinzi Sports Complex in a match that could define the rest of their season.
Tusker, sitting seventh with 18 points, aim to climb the table, while Sofapaka, with just 12 points, need a win to build confidence and prove they can compete at home.
Tusker head coach Charles Okere is focused on resetting: “Every game at this stage is pivotal. We are determined to get back on track and deliver a strong performance against Sofapaka. We know it’s not going to be easy, but we are ready for the battle.”
Sofapaka coach Ezekiel Akwana knows the stakes are high:
“Tusker is a formidable team with a rich history in the league. However, we will focus on our strategies and execute them properly. We need to build on our strengths and play to win at home.”
Expect a fast-paced game with tactical adjustments and individual moments of brilliance deciding the outcome. Both sides will push for every point, knowing the season’s standings hang in the balance.
This matchday is more than just a few games—it’s about momentum, pride, and positioning in a league that’s tighter than ever. AFC Leopards want to build on derby heroics. Kenya Police aim to remain untouchable. Tusker fight to climb, and Sofapaka seek redemption.
