Reigning SportPesa League champions Kenya Police FC will be aiming to cut the gap to just two points behind log leaders Gor Mahia when they visit Bidco United in a rescheduled fixture on Wednesday afternoon at the Nyayo National Stadium, with kick-off set for 3:00 pm.
The record champions squandered a golden opportunity to extend their lead at the top of the table on Tuesday, suffering a shocking 4-1 defeat to struggling newcomers APS Bomet at the same venue.
This surprise result, their heaviest loss of the season, has seen their advantage shrink.

Bidco United vs Kenya Police FC preview
The setback has narrowed the gap between Gor Mahia and the law enforcers, who currently sit fourth.
A victory for Police would propel them to third place with 17 points, putting them just two points behind Gor and one adrift of second-placed Kakamega Homeboyz.
Police, under new head coach Serb Dusan Stojanovic, will enter this match with confidence high after securing back-to-back wins, including a narrow 1-0 victory over Mathare United over the weekend.
A solitary goal from Aboud Omar secured the Serbian international his third win in four matches since taking the helm.
The Antony Akhulia-led Bidco United, on the other hand, have been hampered by a series of draws despite starting the season strongly.
A goalless draw against Bandari FC last weekend extended their winless run to four matches, consisting of three draws and one defeat.
SportPesa has over 2.5 odds at 3.30 odds.
However, having won three of their nine matches and drawn four, they remain in a respectable fifth place on the table with 13 points.
The “Oilers” will therefore be aiming to return to winning ways, with third place also a possibility if they can manage an upset on Wednesday.

Bidco United vs Kenya Police FC Head-to-Head Record and Betting Tips
This will be the ninth meeting between the two sides since 2021, and Bidco are yet to pick up a win, with the previous eight encounters all won by the Law Enforcers.
Bidco will be seeking to end that barren run and secure a first-ever victory against Police after over three years of trying.
In a more startling statistic, Bidco have also failed to score a single goal in any of those eight matches, with Police’s goal tally never exceeding three.
This season, however, Bidco’s home record hasn’t been decent, having won one of their four matches on their turf, while drawing two and losing one.
While Police enter the match as clear favorites and the visitors are expected to take all three points, Bidco will undoubtedly provide a stern test.
