AFC Leopards and Kakamega Homeboyz share Ingo derby spoils in hard-fought stalemate
Francis Baraza's coached side failed to secure victory in the Ingo Derby despite showcasing resilience and skill in a hard-fought encounter.
A win would see Bandari equal KCB’s tally and a victory with more than five unanswered goals would propel them to the top of the table, a feat Ken Odhiambo believes is achievable.
“We will take KCB like the other teams. They are not special, only that they’re in good form this season,” said Odhiambo as per Citizen.
“We will go full force against them as we chase maximum points plus a big win so that we can have a high number of goal aggregate.”
Bandari head into the much-anticipated showdown riding high on back-to-back wins.
However, Odhiambo has stressed the importance of treating this match like any other, despite the stakes involved.

Kenya forms multi-agency team to oversee CHAN 2024 & AFCON 2027 preparations amid fears of losing hosting rights
Sports CS Kipchumba Murkomen has put together a team to steer Kenya’s preparations for CHAN 2024 and AFCON 2027 amid concerns over the country’s readiness.
The Dockers will also need to remain cautious as KCB, led by Patrick Odhiambo, are hungry for a return to winning ways following a recent dip in form that has seen them fail to secure victory in their last two outings.
Bandari CEO Tony Kibwana remains optimistic about Bandari’s chances, even as they prepare to face a KCB side featuring five former Bandari players, including the likes of Fraj Ominde, goalkeeper Farouk Shikalo, and top scorer Francis Kahiro.
“We know they have almost five players who were with us before, but that won't change the fact that we need three points from the encounter,” said Kibwana.
“We know it won't be an easy match, but we promise our fans an interesting and entertaining match. Our fans must show up in large numbers and push the players to their limit. They are the 12th player.”
