vs Prediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

AFC Leopards open the new Kenyan Premier League season without having played yet: the table is still blank and tells us nothing. Looking at their real last matches, the side closed with a 1-2 home defeat to Bidco United, before that another 1-2 away defeat to APS Bomet; further back came two straight wins, 2-1 away at Homeboyz and 2-0 away at Ulinzi Stars. Bandari are in the same position, with no official league games played yet. In their available recent matches they had won 1-0 at home against Tusker, before a 0-2 home defeat to APS Bomet; more recently they had lost 0-1 away to Mathare United. In the head to head record the two sides have met six times since 2023: the most recent meeting, in February 2026, finished 0-0 at Bandari's ground, while the previous one, played in October 2025 at AFC Leopards, also ended goalless. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
