Bandari resume SportPesa League duty with a highly anticipated match against AFC Leopards on Saturday in round 20 of the 2025/26 season.

The dockers last outing resulted in a 1-0 defeat against Shabana, leaving them in ninth place with 27 points. While Leopards remain in second place with 36.

Leopards must avoid defeat if they are to keep up their pursuit of league leaders Gor Mahia, who are currently four points above their eternal rivals. However, Ingwe have a game in hand.

The visiting Leopards are seeking a fifth consecutive win after edging Sofapaka 1-0 in their last league outing. They also have the best defensive record in the Kenyan league, conceding just 11 goals in their opening 18 matches.

There has been nothing to separate these two sides in their last two head-to-head encounters, both resulting in barren draws. This is expected to change here.

Bandari coach Bernard Mwalala, who took charge in his second stint at the helm, has insisted that his side remain prepared for the challenge and they have what it takes to get all three points here.

“We have prepared well, there has been enough time between our last game and this one. They are a tough team but we know what we need to do to get all three points,” the seasoned tactician stated.

Here we have a look at all key details of the match and offer our predicted outcome.
