APS Bomet vs Gor Mahia
The spotlight will be on the match between Mozzart Bet-sponsored APS Bomet and Gor Mahia at Kericho Green Stadium from 1400 hrs.
K’Ogalo will be seeking to extend their lead at the top of the table to six points after arch-rivals AFC Leopards dropped points against Bandari on Saturday, 14 February.
APS, on the other hand, are 14th with 18 points, just one point above Sharks in the relegation zone, and will be seeking a win to disentangle themselves from the relegation battle.
The law enforcers will be encouraged by the fact that they secured a 4-1 victory over Gor in the first leg and have a penchant for upsetting the big boys.
The 21-time record league champions, on their part, will be out to avenge the first-leg embarrassment caused by the league newcomers.
Ulinzi Stars vs Police FC
Military side Ulinzi Stars will face Police FC in the Disciplined Forces Derby set for the Ulinzi Sports Complex in Lang’ata from 1600 hrs.
The two teams have shared a fierce rivalry over the years, with matches between them often producing fireworks.
This time, however, the match carries more significance for Ulinzi as they are in the thick of the relegation battle, sitting 15th on the log and desperately in need of three points.
Police, on the other hand, have fallen short of expectations as defending champions. They sit sixth on the table with 29 points, 11 behind league leaders Gor Mahia, and will be looking to narrow that gap.
KCB FC vs Kariobangi Sharks
KCB FC will host Kariobangi Sharks at the Police DACC Stadium in South C from 1500 hrs.
The Bankers will be out to build on their win against Mathare United and improve on their eighth position as they welcome back coach Robert Matano.
Sharks also secured a 1-0 win over Ulinzi Stars and will be keen to build on that momentum as they continue their fight against relegation.
Sofapaka vs Murang’a Seal
In the other match of the day, struggling Sofapaka will welcome in-form Murang’a Seal at the Vapor Grounds in Ngong from 1500 hrs.
