Tusker FC aim to go top of the FKF Premier League as they face Sofapaka in Nairobi’s Kasarani Annex Stadium on December 14, 2025.
The match kicks off at 3 PM EAT, as the FKF PL title chase continues to heat up with only six points separating the top 10 teams.
League standings and Form
Tusker FC, after 12 league matches, sits in eighth place with 18 points, having won 5, drawn 3, and lost 4.
They have scored 10 goals and conceded 10, leaving them on level goal difference.
Tusker’s recent run, spanning five games, shows mixed results – wins over Nzoia Sugar, Bandari, and Muhoroni Youth, but losses to Gor Mahia and Kakamega Homeboyz.
Sofapaka have scored 11 goals and conceded 14, achieving 12 points and currently sitting second from bottom in the Premier League table, in 17th place.
Their form over the past few games includes one victory, one draw, and three defeats.
It includes a 2–0 win over Posta Rangers, a goalless draw with APS Bomet, but defeats to Kenya Police, Gor Mahia, and Ulinzi Stars.
Tusker vs Sofapaka Head-to-Head Record
Tusker and Sofapaka share a long-standing rivalry in the FKF Premier League, with the brewers holding a clear historical advantage.
Across competitive encounters since 2016, the two sides have met 19 times, with Tusker emerging victorious in 10 matches, Sofapaka in three, and six fixtures ending in draws.
Tusker has also been the more prolific side in front of goal, scoring 31 times against Sofapaka’s 25.
In recent seasons, Tusker has largely dominated the fixture, winning the majority of league meetings, including several narrow but decisive victories.
However, the rivalry produced a surprise in May 2025 when Sofapaka stunned Tusker with a 7–1 win, the heaviest defeat Tusker has suffered in this matchup.
Despite that result, the broader head-to-head trend continues to favour Tusker, making them the favorites to win the awaited match at Kasarani.
Broader Title Implications
The top of the FKF Premier League table is tightly packed: Kenya Police lead with 21 points, followed by Gor Mahia, Kakamega Homeboyz, and Posta Rangers, all on 20 points.
Shabana FC sit fifth with 19 points, while AFC Leopards and KCB share 18 points alongside Tusker.
A win for Tusker would lift them to 21 points, potentially pushing them into the top four, level with the current leaders depending on goal difference.
This would place them just one point ahead of Gor Mahia and Kakamega Homeboyz, keeping their title ambitions alive.
