Kariobangi Sharks seek a return to winning ways against a struggling Shabana side eager to jumpstart their season as KCB look to maintain unbeaten run against Tusker

A total of 4 FKF Premier League (FKF PL) matches are poised to be played this weekend in match week 7 of the FKF PL.

Pulse Sports takes a look at some of the enticing fixtures to look out for as teams battle it out for maximum points.

Kariobangi Sharks vs Shabana

In-form Kariobangi Sharks will play host to a struggling Shabana side at the Dandora Stadium on Saturday.

Sharks have started well in the league, placing 2nd on the log with 11 points, just 3 points behind leaders KCB and above Mara Sugar in 3rd on goal difference.

The William Muluya-coached side will however be out for redemption at the Dandora stadium having suffered their 1st loss of the season at the hands of Bidco United in their last outing at the Sportpesa Arena in midweek action.

A Desmond Agofa strike in stoppage time saw Sharks lose their unbeaten run and go 2 games without a win since their league opener stalemate against KCB back in August.

Sharks will be eager to get back to winning ways against a Shabana side equally eager for their first win of the season.

Shabana have had a contrasting start to the season to their opponents, finding themselves in the relegation zone placing 17th with just 2 points in 4 matches.

The Tore Bobe have struggled, losing 2 matches and drawing the same amount while scoring just 3 goals and conceding an overwhelming 5 goals.

Their most recent outing in midweek action saw the side concede very early on in the 2nd minute at the Gusii stadium as they went on to lose 1-0 to Sofapaka courtesy of a Douglas Ochoko strike.

Without a single win this season the Sammy Omolo-coached side will be eager to register their first win of the season with Sharks looking to pile on the misery.

KCB vs Tusker

A high-profile fixture between league leaders KCB and last season’s runners-up Tusker FC promises to light up Sportpesa Arena.

The Bankers seek a return to winning ways after being held to a stalemate at the Dandora Stadium on Wednesday against defending champions Gor Mahia.

The Patrick Odhiambo-coached side did, defending their goalpost to protect their unbeaten run and maintain their stay at the top with 14 points.

Tusker FC will however be eager to put the Bankers to the test, themselves having had a stellar start to the season.

The Brewers place 5th on the log with 9 points, 5 behind the leaders having played 6 matches, winning 2, drawing 3 and losing just 1.

Their recent outing on Wednesday saw Charls Okere’s charges yield a first half lead to draw 1-1 against Ulinzi Stars at the Police Sacco stadium after Charles Momanyi gave the Brewers the lead only for Ulinzi to equalize through Brian Kafero early on in the second half.
