KCB will be looking to continue their steady rise in the SportPesa League standings when they face APS Bomet at Kasarani Stadium on Tuesday afternoon.
The clash, scheduled to kick off at 4PM, presents the bankers with an opportunity to secure a third consecutive victory and further strengthen their push up the table.
The Nairobi-based side comes into the fixture in impressive form, having gone five matches without defeat in the league. During that run, KCB have registered three wins and two draws, a sequence that has restored belief within the squad after an inconsistent start to the campaign.

KCB vs APS Bomet match preview
Their attacking output has been encouraging, with the team finding the back of the net 11 times, while the defence has shown resilience despite conceding nine goals. Notably, KCB have managed to keep five clean sheets this season, a sign of growing solidity at the back.
These performances have seen them climb to eighth place on the league standings, within touching distance of the top half.
Head coach Robert Matano will be keen to see his side maintain their momentum, especially at home, where they have looked more confident and composed in recent weeks.
However, the experienced tactician is well aware that APS Bomet will not be an easy opponent. Despite sitting 14th on the table, the visitors have been quietly effective in their recent outings having recently demolished Gor Mahia 4-1 at Nyayo Stadium.
APS Bomet have lost just once in their last five league matches, picking up two wins and two draws in that period. Their numbers tell a story of a side that is competitive and capable of troubling opponents on their day.
They have scored 11 goals so far this season but have also conceded 13, while managing to keep four clean sheets. While their league position suggests a team still finding consistency, their recent form indicates that they are building momentum.
One area that will particularly concern Matano is APS Bomet’s away record. The Bomet-based outfit has lost only one of their last five away league matches, winning two and drawing two. That resilience on the road makes them a dangerous opponent.
This encounter will also mark the first-ever competitive meeting between the two sides, adding an extra layer of intrigue to the fixture. With both teams keen to make a statement, the match promises to be a tightly contested affair, where small details could prove decisive.
For KCB, a win would not only extend their unbeaten run but also underline their growing ambition this season. For APS Bomet, a positive result away from home would be a significant boost as they look to climb away from the lower reaches of the table.
The match will be broadcast live on Azam Sports HD 3, with kick-off set for 4PM at Kasarani Stadium.
