The troubled AFC leopards will be up against the equally troubled Nairobi city stars in a Kenya premier league clash on Saturday. Leopards have won only one out of their last six matches drawing one and loosing a record four. With 25 points and in a not envied position 11 on the KPL standings, the wildly followed club that has won the Kenya premier league title a record 12 times is staring right in to the eyes of relegation. More disturbing is the fact that Ingwe's quality of the game in recent premier league matches is un-admired compared to perennial rivals Gor-mahia or any other Premier league club for that matter. With just a game into his job Coach Matano complained of lack of bench power claiming that the club did a shoddy Job in recruiting players during the one month recess period. Fears are now top high amongst supporters that the trend of bad results will see the club bid good bye to the country's top flight football for the second time.

Uganda will play Eritrea in Saturday’s final of the Cecafa (Council of East and Central Africa Football Associations) Under-20 football tournament, thanks to their 2-1 win over Kenya at the Asmara National Stadium on Thursday. Kenya plays Rwanda, 0-1 losers to Eritrea Wednesday in Saturday’s play-off match.

The AFC leopards vs Nairobi city stars fixture has been moved from Saturday the 28th of August to Friday the 27th of August. The match that was scheduled to be played at city stadium from 4pm will now be at Nyayo stadium from 3pm in the presence of the Prime Minister Raila Odinga. AFC leopards are free to attend the match since it is Nairobi city stars home game. The next two AFC leopards home games will however be played without the team's fans following last weeks IDAC rulling.

The Kenyan Premier League sponsors expand their countrywide coverage to include, for the first time, a match at Mumias Sports Complex and at Sony Sugar’s Awendo ground. On Saturday, Western Stima will move from their usual Bukhungu Stadium in Kakamega, to the neighbouring and better-looked-after Mumias Sugar Company’s Stadium to entertain Tusker of Nairobi.

Defending champions Sofapaka brushed off title hopefuls and 2008 champions Mathare united 3-1 in a Kenya premier league match played at the Nyayo stadium on Wednesday night. Following the win, sofapaka go top of the table for the first time this season with 39 points same as Ulinzi but with a superior goal difference 19 compared to Ulinzi’s 12. The win puts pressure on Ulinzi, Gor mahia and Tusker to win their weekend matches if they are to keep up with the pace set by sofapaka.

Despite Sofapaka’s dominance in the midfield, Mathare united drew first blood in the 13th minute when Anthony Kimani scored from the spot after Kelvin Oliech was brought down in the box by Edgar Ochieng. The match remained balanced in the rest of first half with both teams displaying high quality and classic football. Sofapaka unsuccessfully tried to move forward using their dominant midfield while Mathare opted lifting the ball over the mid to Kevin kimani and Kevin Opiyo.
