The Ingo Derby will highlight five FKF Premier League matches set for Saturday 7 December afternoon.Following wins in their last contests, all eyes will be on AFC Leopards and Kakamega Homeboyz as they lock horns for the 22nd time at Mumias Complex from 1400 EAT.Match day!#fkfpremierleague pic.twitter.com/SEhywX0nGV— FKF Premier League (@Officialfkfpl) December 7, 2024 On top of the obvious bragging rights, at stake will also be a quest to establish some consistency, as both sides find themselves yo-yoing in the mid-table having thrown in the joker by bringing new faces on their touchlines.While Francis Baraza is assured of a permanent job, Fred Ambani, the architect of a long awaited victory over Kenya Police last week, is careful to keep himself in good standing following comments made by Leopards Secretary General Gilbert Andugu this week.AFC Leopards reveal number of matches Ambani has been given to impressThe words that should stick: “First of all, we believe Ambani is capable of doing the job, and so we will observe him for three matches and then see.”Won’t hurt to start off on a high against your rivals surely.##NAJAVA_MECA_8556130##In the day’s early kickoff, another new manager (it’s becoming a theme nowadays) at Kenya Police will seek his second consecutive win when he comes up against free-falling Mara Sugar.The man is Burundian Etienne Ndayiragije, who in the midweek win against Nairobi City Stars admitted he didn’t know the names of his players.New Burundian Kenya Police coach impressed with quality of players at his disposalA few days down the line, hope is names are already mastered, and maybe familiarity to a system he hesitates to describe is enough to see off a millers side that from the lofty heights of second is yet to register a win in their last four matches.The game kicks off at 1300 EAT at Kenyatta Stadium, Machakos.Meanwhile at St. Sebastian Park, high-flying Tusker could pull to a point behind leaders KCB should they keep up their hot streak against newly-promoted Mathare United at 1500 EAT.The November international break looks to have worked wonders for the Brewers and coach Charles Okere as his side has now won three on a trot, while striker Ryan Ogam keeps finding the net.💤| Goodnight Brewers.#KenyaMilele #Brewers4Life pic.twitter.com/IrtOfWvjtx— Tusker FC (@tusker_fc) December 1, 2024 John Kamau’s Slum Boys have been there, but have gone off the boil a tad, drawing and losing their last two games – a run he would love to describe as a minor blip.That question gets put to test this afternoon.Nairobi City Stars will have their own to answer when they come up against manager-less Murang’a Seal in the late kickoff at Kenyatta Stadium from 1600 EAT.Tusker youngster itching to make impact after promotion from junior sideA once promising run that included a win over defending champions Gor Mahia is now a long way past for Nicholas Muyoti.His team is now in the relegation playoff spots and flatters to deceive.An out-of-sorts Seal looks like a timely reprieve. Or maybe not.A goal-fest in Sofapaka’s game against Ulinzi Stars at Dandora Stadium (1500 EAT) anyone?
