Monday 12th January, 2026 04:14 PM| By Luke Oluoch

The enthralling race for the Football Kenya Federation Premier League is set to continue this week with three rescheduled matches on the cards across Wednesday, January 14, and Thursday, January 15, 2025.

Reigning champions, Kenya Police and Gor Mahia, are scheduled for Wednesday ties, with Gor Mahia hosting Murang’a Seals.

The law enforcers will open the day’s engagement by hosting Mara Sugar at the Police Sacco Stadium at 2:00pm.

Unbeaten streaks

The teams have so far played 14 times and are separated by four points, with second-placed Gor Mahia garnering 27 points while Police have 22.

Straight from their barren draw against Shabana on Sunday, January 11, 2025, Gor will be out to make amends as they face an in-form Muranga Seal.

Charles Akkonor’s side have their work cut out against the Muranga-based side.

Under the guidance of former Harambee Stars midfielder Osborne Monday, Seal has turned a new leaf and is currently on the longest unbeaten run in the league.

The San Sebastien-based club made a huge statement of intent on Sunday with a 2-0 defeat of Mathare United, extending their fine form to double figures.

Inspirational skipper Joe Waithira was once again the pick of the match, supplying a sublime assist to Victor Haki’s opener before Jackson Imbiakha’s added-time strike compounded matters for the Slum boys.

On Thursday, Nairobi United and Robert Matano’s KCB will be hoping for improved outcomes as the two collide at the Moi International Sports Centre, Kasarani Stadium.

The clash will kick off at 4:00 pm.

The foregoing comes after AFC Leopards continued its quest for the title with another statement 4-0 win on Sunday against Tusker FC.

Samuel Ssenyonjo stole the show, scoring a hat-trick to put Ingwe firmly in control. Ronald Sichenje added the fourth goal in the second half to seal the emphatic win.

The Ugandan beat a defender and the goalkeeper to give AFC Leopards the lead before completing his hat-trick, firing in from the penalty spot to put the visitors 4-0 up by the 71st minute.

Leopards stay top

Leopards consolidated their position at the summit with 30 points from 16 matches, two points clear of second-placed Gor Mahia, who were held to a 0-0 draw by Shabana FC at Gusii Stadium.

Tusker remained fifth on 24 points after the defeat.
