The FKF Premier League returns on October 29, 2025, with four pivotal fixtures that could redefine the early-season standings. At the center of attention is Kakamega Homeboyz, who travel to Kericho to face struggling APS Bomet at 2 pm, determined to maintain their position at the summit.
Homeboyz Target Consistency
Homeboyz have emerged as the team to beat this season, sitting top of the KPL table with 10 points from five matches.
Their campaign has been marked by resilience and attacking flair, highlighted by a commanding 3-1 win over Ulinzi Stars in their last outing.
Despite an earlier setback against Nairobi United, the Kakamega-based side boasts a positive goal difference of +3, having scored seven and conceded four.
Victory over APS Bomet would keep them ahead of close challengers Posta Rangers and Gor Mahia, who trail by a single point and play later this week.
After losing last season’s top scorer, Moses Shumah, to Zambia’s Power Dynamos in July, coach Patrick Odhiambo has leaned towards Nicholas Kipkirui and Davis Kasirye to fill the void, supported by midfield maestro Alex Imbusia.
APS Bomet sits at the bottom with three points from four matches, having conceded eight goals and scored four.
Their lone win came against Kariobangi Sharks, but defensive lapses remain a concern, leading coach Gilbert Selebwa to deploy a compact 4-5-1 to try to keep up with the rest of the teams.
Shabana vs AFC Leopards
Shabana, fourth on seven points, aim to recover from consecutive defeats and protect their strong home record at Gusii Stadium.
AFC Leopards, 15th with three points, are seeking back-to-back wins after ending a long winless run against KCB.
Historically, meetings between these sides have drawn huge crowds and produced unpredictable results.
Kick-off is at 2 PM, with heightened security and early gate openings due to a reported high ticket demand.
Tusker vs Kariobangi Sharks
Tusker, 13-time champions, are enduring a poor start to the FKF Premier League season, sitting 15th with 5 points from 4 matches and only 2 goals scored.
Their last outing ended in a 1-0 win, but they remain winless and under pressure to turn things around.
Kariobangi Sharks, in contrast, sit in 12th place with 5 points from 1 win, 2 draws, and 2 losses.
They have scored three goals and conceded four, showing defensive weakness and limited attacking output.
Head-to-head history favors tight contests: the last two meetings ended 0-0, and Sharks edged Tusker 3-2 in September 2024.
Both sides have struggled for goals this season, and analysts predict a low-scoring affair, with odds leaning toward a draw or a narrow Sharks win.
Kick-off is at 3 PM at Police Sacco Stadium.
Ulinzi Stars vs Bidco United
This fixture pits two sides with contrasting ambitions against each other. Ulinzi Stars, 10th with five points, have been defensively solid but lack a cutting edge in attack, scoring only twice in four matches.
Their last game ended in a 3-1 defeat to Kakamega Homeboyz, exposing vulnerabilities on the counter.
Bidco United, sixth with seven points, have impressed away from home, including a shock win over Gor Mahia earlier in the season.

They boast a balanced approach, combining disciplined defending with quick transitions.
Historically, meetings between these teams have been tight, often decided by a single goal.
