After a dramatic FKF Premier League Sunday that saw Sofapaka make history with a stunning 7-1 demolition of Tusker, the action continues on Monday as Bidco United host KCB at Kenyatta Stadium.Follow Our WhatsApp Channel For More News Both sides head into the match desperately seeking a turnaround in fortunes.Bidco, currently bottom of the log with 29 points, will be eyeing a golden opportunity to leapfrog Nairobi City Stars, who slipped on Sunday after a 1-1 draw against Posta Rangers.##NAJAVA_MECA_8937092##On the other hand, KCB arrive in Machakos winless in their last eight matches, a disappointing run that has all but ended their early-season title ambitions.The Bankers’ head coach, Patrick Odhiambo, has partially blamed the slump on interference from rogue football agents, claiming they unsettled his key players during the mid-season window.“We started the season strongly, and everything pointed towards at least one major title. But when unlicensed agents began approaching our players with empty promises in January, things fell apart,” Odhiambo told Mozzart Sport.“By the time the players realized they were being misled, the damage was already done. Mentally, it was hard to get them back to their best in the middle of the race.”Seventh-heaven Sofapaka deliver devastating blow to Tusker as Kenya Police march towards titleDespite being touted as potential title contenders early in the season, KCB’s campaign has since derailed.Recent losses to Kariobangi Sharks, Shabana, Talanta, and league leaders Kenya Police, all by single-goal margins, have compounded their frustrations.Draws against Mara Sugar, Nairobi United (who knocked them out on post-match penalties), and Kakamega Homeboyz further illustrated their stagnation.South Africa crowned U-20 AFCON champions after historic win over MoroccoBidco’s woes are no lighter.Under coach Antony Akhulia, the Oilers have managed just two wins in their last ten outings and are winless in four straight games.Recent slip-ups against Shabana, Posta Rangers, Bandari, and AFC Leopards have seen them slide to the bottom of the table.History, too, is not on Bidco’s side. In their last eight meetings with KCB, they have only one win to show—a narrow 1-0 victory back in January 2022.##NAJAVA_MECA_8934840##In the last five match-ups, the Bankers have claimed three wins, with the last two encounters ending in goalless stalemates.Monday’s match, therefore, serves as a potential lifeline for both sides.Victory for KCB would see them climb to seventh with 44 points, reigniting faint hopes of a top-five finish.For Bidco, a win would lift them above City Stars and off the bottom, providing much-needed momentum heading into the season’s final stretch.The match starts at 1300 hrs.
