Prediction published on 11/01/2024, 07:00  by Daniel Ngulu | Modified on 12/01/2024 at 13:56 in Kenyan Premier League Predictions

Kakamega Homeboyz will be seeking to arrest their slide in the Kenyan Premier League when they host Bandari. Two points and places separate these two sides, with the hosts sixth and Bandari fourth. Three straight defeats have left Homeboyz on 27 points and they’ve also failed to score in those three defeats. Coming into this encounter, they will be looking to bounce back. In their opening game of 2024, Homeboyz suffered a 3-0 defeat at the hands of Police. That was their heaviest defeat domestically this season and the second time in three games that they conceded more than a goal. It was however the first time in six outings that their match produced over 2.5 goals. Only two of their last 10 matches have had over 2.5 goals. A 1-0 win over Bandari in their last meeting ended a run of eight matches without a win over the coastal side.

Bandari will be keen to avenge their home loss to Homeboyz in the first leg. Coached by John Baraza, the former Homeboyz coach will want to leave a marker in western. The Dockers head to this game having beaten another westerner, Nzoia Sugar, 1-0 in their last game. While they have two defeats in their last four matches, Bandari have a better run than Homeboyz. They have three wins in their last five matches but need to improve on their away form. The visitors have four losses in the last five away matches. They’ve also failed to score in five of six away matches. Bandari’s only win away from home in the last six matches was against struggling Kariobangi Sharks. Their matches, like Homeboyz’s, have been low scoring. Only one of their last 10 away matches had over 2.5 goals.
