Week eight action of the FKF Premier League continues this afternoon with four matches set to be played across the country.Three games were played on Saturday: Sofapaka defeated Kakamega Homeboyz 2-0, Talanta drew 1-1 with Kariobangi Sharks, and in a surprising result, Gor Mahia surrendered a 2-0 lead to draw 2-2 with Murang’a Seal. The result led to chaos in Machakos, where Gor Mahia coach Leonardo Neiva was assaulted by disgruntled fans.##NAJAVA_MECA_8467017##On Sunday, one of the big clashes will take place in Meru, where Ulinzi Stars host AFC Leopards at Kinoru Stadium. This will be the second time the soldiers are playing in Meru this season, having hosted Kenya Police FC at the venue a fortnight ago in a game that ended in a goalless draw.The soldiers picked up their first win of the season last weekend with a 2-1 victory over Posta Rangers and will be hoping to build on that when they face Ingwe, who have been out of action for almost a fortnight. AFC Leopards’ last game was a 1-0 shock loss to Murang’a Seal FC at St. Sebastian Park.So far this season, Ulinzi Stars have played six games, winning one, drawing three, and losing two. They currently sit in 11th place on the table with six points. AFC Leopards, in fourth place, have three wins, one draw, and two losses. They trail leaders KCB FC by seven points, although KCB has played one more game.Ulinzi will be without midfielders Joseph Ochieng, who suffered a fracture against Kenya Police and is expected to be out for weeks, and Issa Lumumba, who is away with the national team Harambee Stars in Uganda.Leopards head into the game without three key players who are serving an internal suspension for their involvement in an unsanctioned friendly game. Victor Omune, Julius Masaba, and Ken Owino were handed a two-week unpaid suspension for participating in a friendly match between A Mosquito FC and Team Zied two weeks ago.
