Leopards’ unbeaten run in the year under threat as Tusker seek to break it

AFC Leopards have been the most exciting team to watch this year in the Football Kenya Federation Premier League as the twelve-time champions are unbeaten.Leopards who are gearing up for their 60th birthday have been on top of their game this year, rising from the lower echelon of the log to the top seven bracket courtesy of the rejuvenated run the team has been enjoying.Their unbeaten run in the year will be on the line on Sunday when they take on Tusker, an equally cruising side at the Kenyatta Stadium in Machakos.Just like Leopards, Tusker have been impressive in the year and will look to skin Ingwe alive and move to seven points within the reach of league leaders Gor Mahia.##NAJAVA_MECA_7945329##The pressure on the back of Gor who lost 1-0 to Bandari on Saturday could get worse if Tusker who boast of twelve titles to their name beat Leopards.Ahead of the game, Leopards head coach Tomas Trucha says the counter will be a difficult one given the experience Tusker and the hunger coach Robert Matano possesses when it comes to this fixture.“It’s a big one. Tusker FC are back on track with a very experienced coach always hungry to beat AFC Leopards, for us is the match to see how far we are in our project and how high we can go on the log this season,” said the tactician in an interview with club media.The two sides laboured for a barren draw in the first leg played in December last year.Miheso pumped up ahead of key battle with TuskerIn other matches lined up for Sunday, Posta Rangers will be seeking to move to the second slot when they play Kariobangi Sharks at the Police Sacco Stadium.Their prayer will only come to pass if they beat Sharks and hope that Leopards will do them a favour by flooring Tusker or holding them to a draw of any kind.Kapaito eyeing third golden bootAt the same venue, Kenya Police will seek to extend their unbeaten run under coach Salim Babu when they clash with the struggling Muhoroni Youth.Just like Leopards, Police haven’t lost a league game this year.Kakamega Homeboyz have a date with Ulinzi Stars at the Mumias Sports Complex while Nzoia welcome FC Talanta at the Sudi Stadium.FKF PREMIER LEAGUE MATCHWEEK 24Sunday Fixtures1.72 Posta Rangers 3.30 Kariobangi Sharks 5.102,05 Kakamega Homeboyz 3.05 Ulinzi Stars 3.802.65 Nzoia Sugar 2.90 FC Talanta 2.80Tusker vs AFC LeopardsKenya Police vs Muhoroni Youth*odds are subject to change*
