SportPesa League Round 14
Tusker vs Nairobi United – Wednesday, 2pm
The brewers can shoot to the top of the table for the first time this season with victory here.
They face a Nairobi United side who have lost four of their last five games, leaving them in 12th place.
Tusker on the other hand are looking to make it four wins on the bounce, after a 2-0 win against Sofapaka last weekend.
This will be the first competitive match between these two sides.
Prediction – Tusker to win @ 1.42 odds
Shabana vs Mara Sugar – Wednesday, 2pm
Unbeaten in six matches, Shabana have the advantage going into this fixture.
A thrilling 2-2 draw with Homeboyz left them in sixth place, just a point away from the leading pack.
Mara Sugar are on a two-game winning streak as well, sitting in ninth place.
Shabana are seeking revenge after Mara Sugar completed the double over them last season with identical 1-0 wins.
Prediction – Shabana to win or draw @ 1.45 odds

Gor Mahia vs Kakamega Homeboyz – Wednesday, 4pm
Record winners Gor seem to be going through a slump after three games without victory.
Their most recent draw at Bandari saw them lose the grip they had at the SL summit.
Homeboyz on the other hand, despite being held by Shabana, have only lost once in their last nine games.
Three of the last five games between these sides have resulted in a draw, with Gor winning the other two.
Prediction – Gor Mahia to win or draw @ 1.38 odds
Kariobangi Sharks vs Bidco United – Thursday, 2pm
Things are becoming very desperate for William Muluya’s Sharks who have now gone eight games without a win.
Sharks have not won since a 2-1 victory over Mathare back in October and need to register a positive result if they are to survive the axe this season.
They face an 11th place Bidco side who are also on a poor run of form that has seen them go eight games without victory.
Both these teams are the lowest scoring sides in the SL, scoring just seven goals so far this season.
With desperation increasing, it can set this up to be a potentially explosive affair.
Prediction – Over 1.5 goals @ 1.75 odds
AFC Leopards vs Ulinzi Stars – Thursday, 4pm
A win for Leopards could see them rise to the top of the table, while Ulinzi are out to avoid a third straight loss.
Defeats to Tusker and KCB, dropped Ulinzi to 15th place, just one point above the dreaded relegation zone.
The last match between these two sides ended in a barren draw back in March, with Ulinzi winning the reverse fixture 2-0.
Leopards have kept four clean sheets in their last five games, further cementing their position with one of the best defense systems in the league.
Prediction – AFC Leopards to win @ 1.98 odds
