After a dramatic Saturday that saw promotion chasers stumble, National Super League action resumes on Sunday, 29 March, with seven crucial fixtures across the country.

Saturday’s shocks handed a lifeline to several contenders after Migori Youth, Michael Olunga Football Academy (MOFA), and Fortune Sacco all dropped vital points, reshaping the promotion race ahead of Sunday’s matches.

Mombasa United vs Mully Children Family (MCF)

League leaders Mombasa United will welcome Mully Children's Family at Mombasa Sports Club. Following last weekend’s 1-0 defeat to Fortune Sacco that ended their eight-match winning streak, Mombasa United aim to respond emphatically.

Backed by home support, Coach Gilbert Selebwa’s side will be determined to capitalize on Migori Youth’s slip-up and reclaim control of the title race.

MCF, rooted at the bottom of the table and winless in seven matches, will be desperate for points to revive their survival hopes, making this a compelling clash of contrasting ambitions.

FC Talanta vs Kibera Black Stars

At Dandora Stadium, FC Talanta host Kibera Black Stars in an all-Nairobi showdown with major promotion implications.

Relegated from the FKF Premier League last season, Talanta are determined to secure an immediate return to the top tier. Last weekend’s 3-1 loss to Migori Youth was a setback, but sitting on 37 points, they have a golden opportunity to bounce back.

Kibera Black Stars arrive in high spirits after a 1-0 win over Kisumu All Stars. Coached by Iddi Badi, they sit seventh on 39 points and are pushing for a maiden promotion. A win would lift them to 42 points and strengthen their claim in the tightly contested race, setting the stage for a high-stakes derby.

3K FC vs Nzoia Sugar FC

At Embu Stadium, 3K FC aim to extend a six-match unbeaten run against Nzoia Sugar FC. Coached by Nicodemus Omasete, 3K sit sixth on 41 points, knowing a victory could push them to 44 and boost their promotion bid.

Nzoia Sugar, coached by Charles Odera, currently sit on 36 points and remain mathematically in contention. They will look to complete a season double after winning the first-leg 2-1, setting the stage for a must-win clash.

Equity FC vs Luanda Villa

Third-placed Equity FC host Luanda Villa at Vapour Grounds, aiming to extend a three-match winning streak. John Kamara Mbezwa’s side sit on 46 points and a win would move them to 49, keeping them in close contention for the top spot.

Luanda Villa, 14th on 28 points, will be equally motivated after a 1-0 win over Nairobi City Stars, hoping to pull off another upset and avoid the relegation zone.

Soy United vs Darajani Gogo

At Eldoret Showground, Soy United take on Darajani Gogo in a clash between struggling sides. Soy are winless in seven matches, while Darajani Gogo have yet to taste victory since the start of the year.

Gogo sit in the relegation zone on 24 points, while a win for Soy could lift them to 36 points and reignite an outside push for promotion. Both teams face high stakes.
