AFC Leopards will be looking to win three back-to-back matches for the first time this season when they host high-flying Nairobi City Stars at the Bukhungu Stadium on Sunday afternoon.Ingwe, who started the season on a slow note, are slowly finding their winning mojo registering morale-boosting victories in the first two matches of the year getting scrappy wins against Ulinzi Stars and Muhoroni Youth.Tomas Trucha’s charges remain unbeaten in the last four league encounters winning three of their previous four games and face an uphill task of upsetting a Simba Wa Nairobi outfit that has won the last seven matches in a trot.Under the tutelage of Nicholas Muyoti, Nairobi heads to Western Kenya knowing a win will bridge the gap between them and league leaders Gor Mahia to seven after the former picked up a slim 1-0 win over Tusker on Saturday.City Stars, who have slayed giants in their incredible run this term, have been handed a major boost with Japanese forward Yuto Kusaba available for selection six months after putting pen to paper with the club, his availability excites coach Muyoti who noted that “Yuto’s availability gives us a good problem to deal with as he adds on to a very active forward line. He brings competitiveness and gives us options to consider.”Meanwhile, Ingwe will be banking on their impressive head-to-head record against the capital club to propel them closer to the top half of the table having won three of the previous five clashes against them while suffering defeat once.##NAJAVA_MECA_7817373##Murang’a Seal vs Posta Rangers Earlier this season, fresh from the National Super League, Murang’a Seal sent shock waves through Kenyan football circles by winning games consistently. Fast forward to today, the club has already fired two managers within a span of a month, attributing the decisions to poor results. The ship may sink further if they continue with the losing streak when they visit fellow strugglers Posta Rangers in a late kickoff at Kenyatta Stadium in MachakosThe Seal, who this week confirmed veteran Juma Abdallah as their head coach, have not won a match since their 2-1 victory over Tusker in early November a run that attributes to eight matches without a win and failing to keep a clean in seven successive league games.Posta Rangers are also in the same situation, having picked up maximum points in only one of their last six games. A win for either of the two clubs will go a long way toward boosting their morale and perhaps even turning their season around.##NAJAVA_MECA_7816739##Kenya Police vs Nzoia Sugar FC At the Police Sacco Stadium, Kenya Police play host to bottom-placed Nzoia Sugar who are hunting for a win to keep alive their survival hopes this season.Nzoia who suspended their head coach Godfrey Odour this week alongside goalkeeper trainer Erick Wasike leaving the mantle to former Mara Sugar expert Steve Biko, have registered a single win in their last eight league games.Police should make light work of this encounter as they have dominated the fixture ever since and have never dropped maximum points when facing today’s opposition. In the five times the duo has clashed, the law enforcers have won three, and two ended in stalemates.##NAJAVA_MECA_7816124##Elsewhere, in an early kickoff at the Kenyatta Stadium, Bidco United sought to bounce from back-to-back defeats inflicted by Sofapaka and Kenya Police respectively, when they play FC Talanta.Talanta roared back to winning paths last weekend drubbing Murang’a Seal 1-0 in front of their fans and will hope to continue with the same winning charm when they face a side that has dominated them in the previous encounters.A win for Talanta will lift them to the top half of the log leapfrogging Bidco who are ranked 9th before the match.Matchday🆚 Talanta FC🏆 FKF Premier League📅 January 2️⃣1️⃣,2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣4️⃣🕒 1⃣3️⃣:0⃣0⃣ hrs EAT🏟️ Kenyatta Stadium#wearebidco#FootballKE pic.twitter.com/oDsXXusZ0W— Bidco United F.C (@fCBidco) January 21, 2024 FKFPL: Gor Mahia see off Tusker as Shabana fall to Ulinzi Stars
