Nairobi City Stars will be looking to end their six-match winless streak when they host AFC Leopards at the Dandora Stadium today from 3 PM in an FKF Premier League clash set to be aired live on Azam Sports 3 HD.
The reverse fixture saw AFC Leopards emerge victorious with a 2-1 win, and Ingwe will be aiming for another three points against a struggling City Stars side.
Current Form & Standings
City Stars are in a tough spot, sitting in the relegation zone with just 17 points from 18 matches. They have managed only four wins this season, drawing five and losing nine. Their home record has been particularly worrying, with just two wins, six losses, and two draws. Their last victory came on December 7, 2024, when they edged Murang’a SEAL 1-0.
AFC Leopards, on the other hand, are in a more comfortable position with 26 points from 17 matches. They have won seven, drawn five, and lost five games so far. In their last five outings, they have won two, drawn two, and lost one. Their away form has been mixed, with three wins, three losses, and four draws.
Key Players to Watch
City Stars’ main attacking threat comes from Mohamed Ali Bajaber, who has netted four goals this season. However, as a team, they have struggled in front of goal, scoring just 15 times while conceding 22.
For AFC Leopards, goal-scoring has been more evenly distributed. Sydney Lokale, Victor Omune, and Boniface Kweyu Munyendo each have four goals, while Ovella Ochieng’ and promising youngster Kelly Madada have chipped in with three apiece. Ingwe’s strength lies in their teamwork, rather than reliance on a single prolific scorer.
Head-to-Head Record
AFC Leopards have historically dominated this fixture, winning 12 of the last 25 meetings since 2009. City Stars have managed seven victories, while six matches have ended in draws.
Match Outlook
City Stars will be desperate for a win to boost their survival hopes, but their poor home record and lack of goals pose a significant challenge. AFC Leopards, with a more balanced squad and better attacking output, will fancy their chances of doing the double over City Stars this season.
Will City Stars turn their fortunes around, or will Ingwe continue their dominance? All eyes will be on Dandora Stadium at 3 PM.
