Bidco United and Ulinzi Stars face off today in an FKF Premier League encounter at Kenyatta Stadium in Machakos, with kickoff set for 3 PM. Both teams are seeking crucial points for different reasons—Bidco United is fighting for survival, while Ulinzi Stars aim to climb higher up the standings.
Sitting at the bottom of the table, Bidco United is in desperate need of a victory to revive their survival hopes. With just 16 points from 18 matches, the Thika-based side has struggled throughout the season, winning only three games. Their recent form does not inspire much confidence either, as they are winless in their last six matches. Their latest outing ended in a 1-1 draw against Kariobangi Sharks, a result that extended their struggle for victories. A win today would provide a much-needed boost in their battle against relegation.
Ulinzi Stars, currently 12th on the table with 22 points, have been inconsistent this season. The Soldiers have registered five wins, seven draws, and six losses in their 18 matches. Coming off a narrow 1-0 defeat to Tusker FC, Ulinzi Stars will be eager to bounce back. Before their loss to the Brewers, they had won three consecutive matches, showing their capability to string together positive results.
The head-to-head record between these two sides has been evenly balanced over their last nine meetings, with each team securing two wins while five encounters ended in draws. Interestingly, Bidco United has had a slight edge in terms of goals, scoring seven and conceding five against Ulinzi Stars. Their most dominant performance against Ulinzi came on May 15, 2023, when they claimed a resounding 3-0 victory.
As both teams prepare for this crucial clash, Bidco United will be looking to break their winless streak and ignite their survival campaign, while Ulinzi Stars aim to regain momentum after their setback against Tusker. With history suggesting a tight contest, fans can expect a competitive showdown in Machakos.
