After three fixtures on Saturday the FKF Premier League 2025/26 season round seven continues today with six matches lined up across different venues.
On Staurday, 2009 league champions Sofapaka produced a clinical performance to hand debutants and Kenya’s CAF Confederation Cup representatives Nairobi United a 3-0 defeat at Dandora Stadium.
The breakthrough came in the 13th minute when Batoto Ba Mungu broke for a counter with Lugalia’s clever pass finding Kuloba , who calmly slotted home to give the visitors an early lead.
In the second half, Sofapaka looked more dangerous.
In the 85th minute, substitute Bramwel Simiyu doubled Sofapaka’s lead with a thunderous strike that left goalkeeper Benard Jairo rooted to the spot. Three minutes later, Japheth Mzungu, who had been lively throughout the match, sealed the win with a low drive into the far corner to make it 3-0.
Meanwhile, in Awendo, Mara Sugar settled for yet another home draw after being held to a goalless stalemate by Bandari FC, marking the visitors’ fourth draw on the road this season.
Elsewhere, Shabana FC failed to make the most of their opportunities despite dominating Kariobangi Sharks, as the two sides settled for a goalless SportPesa League draw on Saturday evening at the Moi International Sports Centre, Kasarani. The stalemate extends a poor run of form for the Kisii-based outfit, who have now gone five matches without a victory.
Kakamega Homeboyz still top the table on 13 points one ahead of Gor Mahia and two more than Posta Rangers, with all three clubs in action today. At the other end of the table, Kenya Police, Murang’a Seal, and APS Bomet occupy the bottom three positions and will all be aiming to change their fortunes.
Gor Mahia vs Ulinzi Stars
High-flying Gor Mahia welcome a struggling Ulinzi Stars side to the Moi International Sports Centre, Kasarani, from 4pm.
K’Ogalo head into the match in fine form, having recorded four consecutive league wins and four clean sheets in the process. The 21-time league champions have conceded only once this season — a penalty in their opening-day defeat to Bidco United.
Under coach Charles Akonnor, Gor Mahia will be counting on their solid defence to stop Ulinzi, while their potent attack seeks to maintain its scoring touch.
Ulinzi, on the other hand, face an uphill task to end their five-match winless run, which includes three straight losses. Interim coach Stephen Ocholla will be looking for his first point or win after losing his first game in charge to Bidco United.
However, Ulinzi’s record against Gor Mahia offers little comfort, having won just two of their last 25 meetings. Their most recent victory came nine matches ago, a 1–0 win in 2021.
AFC Leopards vs Mathare United
At Nyayo National Stadium AFC Leopards will host Mathare United from 3pm.
After failing to win any of their first three matches, Leopards have bounced back with two consecutive victories over KCB and Shabana to rise to fifth on the table while maintaining their unbeaten run.
Coach Fred Ambaniwill be hoping to make it three wins in a row at the expense of Mathare United, who will also be chasing their third win as they look to recover from their midweek loss to Gor Mahia.
Last season, Ingwe completed a double over the Slum Boys and have won seven of their last ten meetings.
Kakamega Homeboyz vs Tusker FC
League leaders Kakamega Homeboyz will be out to strengthen their grip at the top when they face Tusker FC at the Bukhungu Stadium from 2pm.
Homeboyz climbed to the summit after a 2–1 victory over APS Bomet in midweek, coupled with Posta Rangers dropping points against Murang’a Seal.
The Mozzart Bet-sponsored side will now be targeting a fourth straight victory as they continue their pursuit of a maiden league title.
Tusker, meanwhile, appear to have found their rhythm, winning their last two matches after going winless in their opening three fixtures.
Kenya Police FC vs Posta Rangers
Defending champions Kenya Police FC return to domestic action after bowing out of the CAF Champions League at the preliminary stage, a result that led to the sacking of coach Etienne Ndayiragije.
The law enforcers will now turn their focus to defending their league title, beginning with a clash against Posta Rangers at the Police Sacco Stadium from 3pm.
Posta started the season brightly and topped the table after three rounds but have failed to win their last two matches. The Mailmen will be wary, having managed just one win in their eight previous meetings with Police.
Police are set to appoint Serbian tactician Dusan Stojanovic as the new team head coach as reported by Mozzartsport.
Bidco United vs APS Bomet
In Thika, Bidco United will host APS Bomet at the Kasarani Annex from 2pm. as they look to extend their impressive start to the season.
The Thika-based side has won three and lost just one of their five league matches so far, placing them fourth on the log. League newcomers APS Bomet, on the other hand, have struggled, winning only one of their five matches in their debut top-flight campaign.
Murang’a Seal vs KCB FC
At St. Sebastian Park, Murang’a Seal will host KCB FC in a crucial clash from 3pm.
Seal have endured a difficult start to the season and currently sit second from bottom. Reports suggest that coach Osborne Monday could be shown the door if his team fails to win.
KCB, meanwhile, will be seeking to bounce back after suffering consecutive defeats to Gor Mahia and AFC Leopards.
