With log leaders Nairobi United already promoted, focus shifts to the second-placed APS Bomet and the host of the chasing teams with a mathematical chance of sealing the remaining available slot at the table of men.
Bomet, who at some point in the campaign went neck-to-neck with Nairobi United, will take on Kibera Black Stars at the Jamhuri Sports Complex from 3 pm.
The match is expected to be a tough one, as Kibera have not given up in their quest for promotion, despite trailing their match-day opponents by six points and being winless in the last three matches.
The Slum Boys have garnered 52 points from 32 rounds and could rise a slot up if they manage to disarm the paramilitary side.
The first leg between the two sides ended in a barren draw at Bomet Stadium.
Nzoia Sugar vs Darajani Gogo
Kibera's neighbours, and fellow promotion hopefuls, Dajarani Gogo, will take on former FKF Premier League side Nzoia Sugar at Sudi Stadium from 3 pm.

Ahead of the game, Gogo are placed fifth on the log with 53 points, a tally similar to that of fourth-placed Naivas, who have a superior goal difference.
Nzoia, on the other hand, are ranked 15th with 32 points.
Gogo will rise to the third position if they can manage to beat Nzoia.
The first leg between the two teams, which was played on 13 October 2025, ended 3-1 in favour of Gogo.
Luanda Villa vs Kisumu All Stars
Hosts Luanda Villa will aim to bounce back to winning ways when they take on Kisumu All Stars at Mumboha Grounds.
Villa are on the back of a 2-0 defeat to Fortune Sacco, while All Stars lost 4-0 to APS Bomet in their last encounter.
With 46 points to their name, a win for Otenga would move them closer to the promotion playoff slot, while Luanda Villa might move to ninth if they manage a home win.
A 1-1 draw was the result when the two teams clashed in the first leg on 12 October 2024.
MOFA vs Vihiga United
Tied with Kisumu All Stars at 46 points, eighth-place MOFA will welcome Vihiga United at the Jomo Kenyatta Stadium, Mamboleo, from 3 pm.
Vihiga ,who are 12th on the log, will be keen to get a win that would potentially move them to the top half of the table.
The two teams played to a 1-1 draw when they met in the first leg on 12 October 2024.
SS Assad vs Mombasa Stars
At Ukunda Grounds, the coastal derby pitting the 18th-placed SS Assad and 17th-placed Mombasa Stars will take place from 3 pm.
With both teams in the relegation zone, the match will also affect who gets relegated to the third tier.
Assad won the first leg, played on 12 October 2024, by a solitary goal.
MCF vs 3K FC
11th-placed MCF will face ninth-placed 3K FC at the Kenyatta Stadium, Machakos, from 1500 hrs.
The first leg meeting on 13 October 2024 at the Moi Stadium, Embu, ended 2-1 in favor of 3K FC.
In another match lined up on the day, Samwest Blackboots will lock horns with 16th-placed Migori Youth at the Marist International University, Karen, from 3 pm.
Samwest beat Migori 3-0 in the first leg of the season.
