Kakamega Homeboyz have the chance to storm back into the SportPesa League’s top three with a home win against Sofapaka on Friday afternoon.
Homeboyz are currently in fifth place on the log with 31 points. They are unbeaten in their last three league games and are hoping to make it back-to-back wins after a 4-1 demolition of Bidco in their last outing.
They welcome a struggling Sofapaka side who have only managed one win in their last 13 matches. The dismal run of form leaves them rooted to the bottom with a pathetic 14 points from 20 matches.
Homeboyz were 1-0 winners when the two sides met in the reverse fixture earlier in the season. Josephat Lopaga scored the only goal day, securing all three points.
With this being the only SL match scheduled for Friday, Homeboyz can jump into third place until Shabana and Murang’a play their games at the weekend.
Here we have a look at the key details of the match as well as offer our predicted outcome.
What time does Homeboyz vs Sofapaka start?

Homeboyz vs Sofapaka head-to-head and current form
There hasn’t been much to separate these two sides in recent seasons – with either side winning twice in their previous five head-to-head encounters. The only other result was a barren draw last April.
Homeboyz destroyed Sofapaka 5-0 in the 2023/24 season, which remains the highest scoring match between the two teams.
Currently, Sofapaka have lost their last four games and need to avoid a fifth successive one here. They take on a Homeboyz team who have won three of their last five matches – losing just once.

Homeboyz vs Sofapaka prediction
Sofapaka do not seem to have a way out of the mess they are in and this is not the game that they are likely to do so.
Despite there being only one goals in the last two games between these teams, we can expect a different outcome here. Homeboyz have scored 11 goals in their last five games and are tipped to score here.
Goals have been rare for the visitors and they are expected to shoot blanks here too.
