Kenya Premier League (KPL) resumes with the weekend as a fight for top positions intensifies after Gor Mahia won the title last month.
Two teams-AFC Leopards and Bandari will be fighting for second positions when they play Posta Rangers and Zoo Kericho respectively.
Thirteen time KPL champions AFC Leopards will be hosting Rangers at Machakos stadium will act as a superb morale booster as they prepare to defend their FKF SportPesa Shield Cup title formerly Gotv Shield Cupwith a semifinal match against Sofapaka next weekend.
The last time the two teams met was on February 3 in the season opener that ended in a one-all draw. Ingwe have not beaten the mail men since 2012, although five of the seven matches played within that period have ended in draws.
Bandari, who have an impressive winning record spanning six games and a 12 match unbeaten streak, are in second place on the KPL table with 54 points, six more than third placed Ingwe who lost their last two games.
It therefore falls on the big cats to win against Rangers this weekend as they bid for a second place finish when the 2018 season comes to an end next month.
In another match lined up this weekend, reigning champions Gor Mahia are scheduled to take on Thika United at the Thika sub county Stadium.
It will therefore be a good opportunity for bottom placed Thika United to challenge for their first win in 11 games as they fight to climb out of the relegation zone.
