Darajani Gogo vs Naivas FC
The headline clash will be staged at Marist Grounds, Karen, where Darajani Gogo hosts promotion-chasing Naivas FC in what promises to be a gripping encounter.
Both sides enter the fixture wounded from weekend defeats, Gogo falling 2–1 to league leaders Migori Youth, while Naivas suffered a surprising 2–0 loss to Luanda Villa.
For Gogo, head coach Andrea Ongwae will be eager to spark an immediate response.
The defeat to Migori, only their third of the campaign, halted their impressive four-match unbeaten run.
Before the setback, Gogo had stitched together 1–0 wins over Soy United and Kibera Black Stars, alongside a barren draw with Mwatate United.
Their home form remains a point of strength, having recorded three wins in five matches at Marist. However, a stern test awaits against a determined Naivas side.
Naivas' slip in the last round not only halted their own four-match unbeaten streak but also denied them a golden chance to close the gap on leaders Migori Youth.
Now fifth with 16 points, seven off the summit, Elvis Ayany’s charges know another slip-up could prove costly.
In six previous meetings, Gogo hold the edge with a single victory, while the other five matches have ended in draws.
A home victory would lift Gogo to 17 points and into fourth, while a Naivas triumph would take them to second on 19 points, reigniting their FKF Premier League promotion push that has argonisilngly eluded them in the past two seasons.
Gucha Stars vs MOFA
At Gusii Stadium, resurgent Gucha Stars welcome Michael Olunga Football Academy (MOFA) in what is tipped to be a nail-biting contest.
Gucha arrive buoyed by back-to-back 2–0 victories over Kisumu All Stars and Mwatate United, results that propelled them to 11th place on 13 points.
Coach Sammy Okoth will once again rely on their impressive home form; four of their league wins this season have come in Kisii.
But they face a confident MOFA side unbeaten in their last three matches, including wins over Mombasa United and Fortune Sacco, plus a draw against Naivas.
The Homa Bay-based outfit climbed to fourth courtesy of a commanding 4–0 demolition of second-placed Mombasa United over the weekend.
However, coach Charles Bruno remains concerned about their away struggles.
MOFA’s two defeats this season have both come on the road, with just one win in five away matches.
This will be the first-ever meeting between the sides.
MOFA, in their second season in the NSL, are targeting a move to second place, just four points off Migori, while Gucha seek to continue their steady rise and narrow their deficit to seven points with two games in hand.
Nzoia Sugar vs MCF
At Sudi Stadium in Bungoma, Nzoia Sugar play host to Mully Children’s Family (MCF) in a match carrying significant weight for both sides.
Nzoia are coming from a 1–1 draw against Nairobi City Stars and will be eager to secure their third win in ten outings.
Their home form, though decent, has been blemished by three draws alongside two victories.
MCF, meanwhile, are licking their wounds after a 3–1 loss to Equity FC, a result that snapped a promising three-match unbeaten streak in an otherwise inconsistent season.
Stand in coach cum player Ezekiel Okere will be pushing for an improved showing away from home, where MCF have registered just one win while suffering four defeats.
Nzoia enter the match as favourites, having twice beaten MCF 4–0 last season.
With only two points separating the sides, Nzoia could cut their gap to Migori to nine points with a victory, while MCF could climb to 10th with 14 points should they claim all three.
Kisumu All Stars vs Equity FC
At Moi Stadium, Kisumu, struggling Kisumu All Stars host an in-form Equity FC.
All Stars are fresh from a morale-boosting 1–0 win over FC Talanta and will be seeking back-to-back victories for the first time this season.
Coach Billy Agai hopes home support will spur them to a third win of the campaign and, potentially, lift them out of the relegation zone for the first time.
Equity, however, presents a formidable challenge.
The Bankers returned to winning ways with a solid 3–1 victory over MCF after their four-match unbeaten run was halted by Mombasa United.
Coach John ‘Kamara’ Mbezwa will be pushing to improve their away form and secure a second win on the road this season.
The meeting, another first-ever clash, comes with high stakes.
All Stars seek to escape danger, while Equity aim to move to within five points of league leaders Migori.
FC Talanta vs Kabati Youth FC
At Ruraka Grounds, former FKF Premier League side FC Talanta take on debutants Kabati Youth FC.
Talanta are still reeling from a stunning 1–0 defeat to Kisumu All Stars, a result that abruptly ended their back-to-back wins.
Coach Jackson Gatheru will be pushing for a swift and strong response as they continue their bid for an immediate return to the top-flight.
Kabati arrive with renewed belief after edging Kibera Black Stars 1–0 for their maiden NSL victory.
Coach Haji Bilal hopes the win sparks consistency as they push to climb out of the relegation zone.
A Talanta victory would move them to within five points of Migori, while Kabati, currently 17th, could climb to 16th with 10 points, escaping the drop zone for the first time.
Soy United vs Vihiga United
At Eldoret Showground, Soy United face Vihiga United in a clash crucial for mid-table positioning.
Soy enter buoyed by a commanding Mozzart Bet Derby win over 3K FC and will seek their first back-to-back wins of the season.
Their home strength makes them favourites, but Vihiga, despite a rough patch, remain unpredictable.
Vihiga’s 1–0 loss to Fortune Sacco stretched their month-long wait for a second win of the campaign.
Coach Milton Kidiga hopes his charges can rediscover their rhythm against a Soy side eager to climb to 10th with a victory.
Vihiga, on the other hand, could move up to 14th with 11 points if they triumph.
Mwatate United vs Luanda Villa
The final clash of the day sees Mwatate United hosting Luanda Villa at Wundanyi Stadium.
Mwatate, coming off a 2–0 loss to Gucha Stars, are desperate to escape the relegation battle.
Coach Evans Mafuta knows victory could lift them to 16th on 10 points.
Luanda Villa, buoyed by their impressive 2–0 win over Naivas, are aiming to record consecutive victories for the first time this season.
Sitting 16th, coach Leonard Saleh’s side could climb to 13th with a win, tightening an already congested mid-table.
With both teams chasing pivotal objectives, the match promises a fierce and passionate contest.
