Kenya Police FC vs Nairobi City Stars Prediction & Betting Tips - Kenyan Premier League

Prediction published on 10/05/2024, 08:00  by Daniel Ngulu in Kenyan Premier League Predictions

Police FC will be up against Nairobi City Stars in their next Kenyan Premier League encounter this Sunday. Placed second in the standings, Police remain the only challengers to Gor Mahia for the title, while City Stars still have hopes of finishing second. Police have garnered 51 points so far, placing them nine points behind Gor Mahia. With six matches to go, hopes that Police can mount a successful title challenge are slim. Gor Mahia need just a win to bag the title. For Police, this season has had ups and downs, especially off the pitch but they will be happy with the progress under coach Salim Babu. They are unbeaten in 15 matches since he took over from Croatian Zdravko Logarusic, winning 12 times. Right ahead of this game, they came from behind to beat Kakamega Homeboyz 2-1 for their sixth straight win. Playing at home, they lost just once in the last 12 league matches.

Nairobi City Stars’ best spell is behind them. At one point this season they put up a seven-game winning run and it felt like they'd challenge for the title. Coming into this game though, they have three wins only in their last 10 matches. Last time out they had to come from behind to draw 1-1 with Ulinzi Stars in a rescheduled game. That result ended their run of two straight wins, but they come into this unbeaten in their last three matches. Their scoring run has also improved in recent matches, only failing to score once in five matches. In the last three matches alone, they scored seven goals and this should inspire them going against Police. Their results in the last 10 matches threw them off the title challenge. Finishing anywhere in the top-four will however be some achievement for Nicholas Muyoti’s side.
