FKF Premier League prediction: who will win the 2024-25 Kenyan championship?

Gor Mahia will be defending the Kenya Premier League title they won last season. They finished eight points ahead of Tusker to claim their second straight league championship.

These two clubs have dominated the Kenya Premier League in recent years. Not since 2010 has a team other than Gor Mahia or Tusker (Ulinzi Stars) captured the league title. However, it's been Gor Mahia that have been the true top dog, winning nine of the last 12 league titles overall.

As has been the case in the Kenyan top flight for the last decade plus, Tusker and Gor Mahia are expected to slug it out for the championship. The Brewers have had to settle for the runner-up position for the last two straight years and will be desperate to get back to the summit of Kenyan football.

They'll have their work cut out for them if they are to topple Gor Mahia's empire. Ultimately, K'Ogalo are looking too strong for their opponents and should be able to secure another league.

Kenya Premier League top scorer prediction: which player will score the most goals?

It's not just the clubs you can bet on in this league. It’s also possible to bet on which player will finish as the top goalscorer. Benson Omala secured the golden boot award last season, firing 19 goals to lift Gor Mahia to the league title. The 22-year-old striker has been in dominant form over the last two years, notching 25 goals in the 2022-23 campaign and 19 last year.

Benson Omala is the best striker in the league currently and is playing for the best team in the division. He's an obvious choice to claim the top scorer honours once again.

Beginners Guide to how the Kenya Premier League works

The Kenya Premier League is the top division in the country consisting of 18 teams. They all play each other home and away, giving us a total of 34 matches for each of the competing teams. 

The bottom two teams go straight down to the National Super League. Finishing 16th takes a team into the relegation play-off against the side who finishes third in the National Super League.

At the end of the season many places have an impact on the future of clubs:

• The club finishing top of the table are the Kenyan champions and go into the qualifying rounds of the CAF Champions League.
• The 16th ranked club goes into a relegation play-off.
• Those finishing 17th and 18th are relegated to the National Super League. The top two in that league replace them next season.

As you will have understood, there are therefore many intricacies in the Kenyan Premier League. That's why the KPL predictions have grown increasingly popular for UK bettors.

Consult the current form of the Kenya Premier League teams

This is certainly the advice that is given first, which applies for all competitions and all sports. Indeed, in order to offer the most reliable Kenya Premier League prediction possible, it is essential to consult the form of the teams involved in your bet.

For example, a team like Talanta FC has lost their last four games and now host Tusker who are on a five game winning streak. On paper, the two clubs are not at the same level and it’s Tusker who has a much better squad. Look at the form to see just how clubs have been faring in recent matches and use that knowledge to make your prediction.

Take into account the form/absence of Top Kenya Premier League players

The second tip is also very important. Indeed, as we know, football is played with 11 players but there are always players more important than others in a squad. It will then be important to target them for each club, then to follow their current form or their potential injury or absence.

Indeed, seeing that the best player of a team is out of form, injured or suspended will prevent you from losing a certain number of bets, but also from making better quality predictions. Don't forget, before each match, to take into account the squad named by the coach and the form shown by the players in recent matches.

Pay attention to games without stakes at the end of the season

Some games will be far more important than others as the end of the season approaches. If a team is battling to win the title or avoid relegation, then their games are important and full strength line-ups will be fielded if possible.

However, if a side is in mid-table and with no chance of the title or relegation, then they may decide to rest players. Perhaps experiment by giving some youngsters a chance to show what they are capable of. Look to see how important a match is to each team.

Analyze the odds and bet on those that provide the most value

Our fourth piece of advice: it is obviously necessary to analyze the odds and add those that provide value-betting opportunities to your bet slip. Indeed, the bookmakers shape the odds themselves, and there may be differences from one operator to another. Remember that the most popular don't always offer the best value!

It will then be important to analyze those bets that have a much different implied winning probability than the forecase that you made in your research. For example, if you have studied an upcoming match and give the home team a 75% chance to win (1.33 implied odds) yet the bookmakers are offering 1.60 on a home win (62.5% implied probability), this is a bet that provides an excellent amount of value and should be bet immediately! Consistently identifying these types of spots is how you become a long-term winner, both when betting on the Kenyan Premier League as well as other competitions.

Remember to shop around for the best odds as different betting sites can vary on the odds offered for the same bet! Do not hesitate to register with as many bookmakers as possible, and not just the best site, in order to ensure that you can benefit from the best odds, but also from everyone's superb welcome bonuses!

Analyze the latest stats in the Kenya Premier League

Finally, it will also be important to analyze the statistics of the championship on which you wish to bet, in this case the Kenya Premier League. First, it will be interesting to see the overall statistics recorded on the current edition, which you will find a little further down this page. This will give you a solid overview of the style of play in the competition that awaits you.

Secondly, the statistics of the last matches played by the teams involved in your bet will also be very relevant for you. Indeed, a team can have bad results for 2 or 3 games, but remain dominating and simply lack luck. The change of dynamic should then arrive soon.
