Kariobangi Sharks vs AFC Leopards Betting tips
Kariobangi Sharks are yet to beat AFC Leopards in their last six league meetings, with Ingwe winning twice and the other four ending in draws.
The last time the Slum Boys defeated Ingwe was in 2022, with a 3–1 victory.
Four of the recent six encounters between these sides have seen under 2.5 goals, highlighting tightly contested matches.
Sharks have managed only one goal in those six games, compared to four by Ingwe.
Given the low-scoring history and Leopards’ own struggles in attack, managing just nine goals this season, this match is expected to be another closely fought affair.
Meanwhile, second-placed Kakamega Homeboyz – currently on a three-match winless run, will aim to return to winning ways and narrow the gap with leaders Gor Mahia when they host Posta Rangers at Bukhungu Stadium from 2:00 PM.
