Second-placed Kibera Black Stars will look to claim the top spot when they face league newcomers Michael Olunga Football Academy (MOFA) in a National Super League (NSL) clash at Jamhuri High School Grounds. Kibera secured a 1-0 victory over 3K FC in their previous match, bringing them closer to league leaders APS Bomet, who sit at the summit with 29 points. A win against the MOFA side, owned by Harambee Stars captain Michael Olunga, would see Kibera leapfrog APS Bomet at the top ahead of Sunday’s fixtures. MOFA, currently in fourth place, are equally motivated. Maximum points would move them into the promotion brackets, tying them on points with Yamama and Nairobi United. ##NAJAVA_MECA_8644766##The Homabay-based side will also benefit from the return of head coach Alfred Chole, who missed the last three matches due to a suspension stemming from a game against the Samwest Blackboots. Despite their ambitions, MOFA enter the match as underdogs. Under the guidance of former Gor Mahia striker Edwin Lavatsa, the Kibera Black Stars are in stellar form, remaining unbeaten in their last nine games, including four consecutive wins. In contrast, MOFA has won just two of their last five outings. Notably, this will be the first competitive encounter between the two sides. AFC Leopards out to prey on FC Talanta as Ulinzi Stars hope to stretch decent formDarajani Gogo vs. 3K FCThird-placed Darajani Gogo will seek to recover from last weekend’s 1-0 loss to MOFA when they face 3K FC at Marist International School Grounds at 3:00 PM. Gogo’s morale received a boost on Friday after the FKF Leagues and Competition Committee awarded them three points and two goals from their abandoned match against Muhoroni Youth. The team will look to capitalize on this positive development to strengthen their push for FKF Premier League promotion. Coach Francis Chege, however, is under mounting pressure to reverse the club’s fortunes. TACTICAL ANALYSIS: Kakamega Homeboyz tweak that overcame stubborn TalantaGogo have not won a match since November 2024, enduring a five-game winless streak that saw them drop from the league summit to the second page of the standings. “We are in a difficult position, and things haven’t been working, but that’s not my focus. We are exploring ways to get back on track, and I assure our fans that brighter days are ahead,” Chege told Mozzart Sport. A win for Gogo could see them claim the top spot on the log, depending on the outcome of the Kibera Black Stars vs. MOFA match. Nzoia Sugar vs. Mombasa StarsIn Western Kenya, 15th-placed Nzoia Sugar will host bottom-placed Mombasa Stars at Sudi Stadium. Both sides are grappling with financial struggles that have left players frustrated. ##NAJAVA_MECA_8644652##Nzoia players went on strike earlier in the week, demanding payment of four months’ outstanding salaries. Mombasa Stars have also been hit hard, traveling with a reduced squad due to logistical challenges. Despite the hurdles, both teams will aim to secure much-needed points to climb the table. Naivas vs. Luanda VillaIn the final match of the day, 11th-placed Naivas will host Luanda Villa at Kenyatta Stadium in Machakos.
