Kakamega Homeboyz vs Nairobi City Stars Prediction & Betting Tips - Kenyan Premier League

Prediction published on 20/12/2023, 07:00  by Daniel Ngulu in Kenyan Premier League Predictions

Kakamega Homeboyz will be looking to rise again when they host Nairobi City Stars in their next Kenyan Premier League game. A loss to AFC Leopards saw Homeboyz drop two places to fourth while City Stars are sixth coming into this game. Kakamega Homeboyz’s five-match winning run was halted in a 2-0 loss away to Leopards last time out. They will be out to bounce back here though their run against City Stars isn’t the best. In their last four meetings with City Stars, the matches ended in draws. Homeboyz’s last win over City Stars dates back to 2021 February. It is their only win over City Stars in six meetings, the last in a run of three straight wins over City Stars. They can however bank on their home form, having won each of the last three matches there. Homeboyz have only lost once in their last 12 matches at home.

Nairobi City Stars staged a great comeback to beat Ulinzi Stars 2-1 away from home. That was their fourth straight win and they’ll be keen to make it five against a tougher opponent. City Stars have also improved defensively, keeping two clean sheets in their last three matches. Their scoring run isn’t bad either, having scored in each of their last nine games. With a five-game unbeaten run against Homeboyz, City Stars will be confident on their trip. Their away run has been shaky though. Coming into this game, City Stars have suffered two losses in their last four away matches. In three of the last five away matches, they conceded two or more goals. The visitors also have just one clean sheet in five away matches.
