Kenya Police FC will be looking to extend their remarkable unbeaten run as they host Sofapaka at Kenyatta Stadium in Machakos today from 1 PM. The reverse fixture, played on November 6th last year, ended in a 1-1 draw, but a lot has changed since then.
Kenya Police FC’s Unstoppable Momentum
Police FC have been in phenomenal form, going 10 matches unbeaten—a streak that has propelled them from the bottom of the table to the summit. They sit at the top with 36 points after 18 matches, level with second-placed Tusker FC but boasting a superior goal difference.
Under the guidance of Burundian tactician Etienne Ndayiragije, the law enforcers have been nearly flawless. Since taking charge, Ndayiragije has lost just one match—his very first—and has since turned the team into a well-oiled machine. In the last five matches, Police have won four and drawn one, with the only draw coming due to a late goalkeeper error that led to an equalizer.
The team has excelled across all departments, with Marvin Nabwire (5 goals) and Clinton Kinanga (4 goals) providing the attacking firepower. Midfield maestro Brian Musa has been a revelation this season, earning national team recognition for his outstanding creativity and vision.
Sofapaka’s Struggles and Hopes for Redemption
Sofapaka, currently in 9th place with 24 points, will be looking to bounce back after suffering consecutive defeats to Shabana and Gor Mahia. Their recent form has been inconsistent, with two wins, two losses, and a draw in their last five outings.
Despite their struggles, Sofapaka still possess attacking threats, with Edward Omondi leading their goal-scoring charts with four goals. He, along with his fellow forwards, will need to find a way past a resilient Police FC defense if they are to get a positive result.
Head-to-Head and What to Expect
Historically, Kenya Police FC have a slight edge in this fixture, having won three times, lost twice, and drawn three times against Sofapaka since December 2021.
With Police in red-hot form and Sofapaka desperate to halt their losing streak, this promises to be a thrilling encounter. Will Police continue their dominant run and cement their place at the top, or will Sofapaka spring a surprise and derail their momentum? All eyes will be on Machakos this afternoon.
