SportPesa League action resumes tomorrow after a chaotic but revealing week, one that saw momentum swing dramatically at both ends of the table. Round 10 delivered tight margins and contrasting emotions, with record champions Gor Mahia edging perennial rivals Tusker 1–0 in a tense affair before suffering a stunning midweek collapse against APS Bomet.
Defending champions Kenya Police, meanwhile, picked up a crucial 1–0 win over Mathare and backed it up with a spirited 3–2 comeback against Bidco in the rescheduled fixture, reasserting themselves as serious contenders. They now sit 3rd on the log, with two games in hand and momentum firmly on their side.
Homeboyz stopped their slide with a deserved 2–0 victory over Posta Rangers, while Murang’a Seal and Shabana settled for a 1–1 draw. AFC Leopards and Kariobangi Sharks also neutralized each other with a similar 1–1 outcome,leaving both sides still searching for cutting edge as the campaign edges toward the festive stretch.
Here’s how the SportPesa League table looks ahead of this weekend’s fixtures:
Round 11 offers clubs a chance to stabilize their footing as the table continues to tighten. To start us off is Mara Sugar welcome Tusker Fc to fortress Awendo Green stadium in a meeting between two sides still trying to find consistency. Tusker’s narrow loss to Gor Mahia last weekend showed a disciplined but cautious side, and they face a Mara Sugar team that performs stubbornly at home, often turning the Green Stadium into a difficult ground for visiting heavyweights.
Sofapaka return to Kasarani Annex looking to respond after their 3–1 loss to Ulinzi, but their task is complicated by an energized APS Bomet team whose shock demolition of Gor Mahia has made them the talking point of the entire league week. Bomet will be keen to prove that their midweek masterclass was no fluke, while Sofapaka know another defeat could drag them into deeper trouble before the year ends.
Sunday brings a packed schedule, with Homeboyz hosting KCB in Kakamega, hoping to build on last weekend’s confidence-boosting 2–0 win. KCB remain unpredictable this season but tend to rise to big away fixtures, giving this match the feel of a tight tactical battle. Ulinzi Stars, fresh from their convincing win over Sofapaka, take on Bandari at the Ulinzi Complex, with both sides keen to carry forward their positive stretches of form. Murang’a Seal return to SportPesa Arena against Kariobangi Sharks in what promises to be one of the weekend’s most fluid matches, especially with both teams having settled into a rhythm of sharing points.
Kenya Police, meanwhile, enter Matchday 11 riding back-to-back victories and now host a Shabana side that has shown fight but still lacks the sharpness to convert performances into wins.
Monday wraps up the round with Bidco United facing Posta Rangers at Kasarani Annex. Bidco will be seeking a response after losing twice in four days, including a painful 3–2 defeat to Police after leading earlier. Rangers, who have just appointed Collins Omondi ‘Korea’ as interim head coach following the departure of Sammy Omollo now on a 30-day terminal leave ahead of his contract’s expiry on 31st December 2025 are equally in need of stability after their 2–0 loss to Homeboyz, especially before the standings begin to stretch out.
Gor Mahia, AFC Leopards and Nairobi United are absent from this weekend’s league action. The rescheduled Mashemeji Derby will now take place on December 7 at Nyayo Stadium after venue complications forced a postponement, while Nairobi United shift their full attention to continental duty as they prepare to host AS Maniema Union in the CAF Confederation Cup group-stage match at Kasarani.
