FKF Premier League: Where Gor Mahia, Tusker And Kenya Police Could Win Or Lose The Title

Kenya Police’s title push was dented on Friday, handing rivals Tusker FC and Gor Mahia the initiative, but where could the three teams win or lose the FKF Premier League crown?

Kenya Police suffered a major setback in their quest to win the FKF Premier League title following a 1-0 loss to Ulinzi Stars on Friday.

Police were looking to end the day with a four-point lead over second-placed Tusker FC but now find themselves facing the prospect of slipping to third position by the end of Sunday.

Ulinzi secured victory thanks to Boniface Muchiri’s 46th minute goal to leave Police still on 49 points but from 27 matches, while Tusker, who are on 48 points and a game in hand can move top if they beat bottom-placed Nairobi City Stars on Sunday.

Meanwhile, Gor Mahia, who are in third place with 46 points, have two matches in hand over the law enforcers and can move level with them on points with a win away to Sofapaka on Saturday.

That has set up a tight but an exciting title race where there are no margins for error in the final matches of the season.

Heading into the final weeks of the campaign, Pulse Sports looks at the matches that could decide who wins the FFK Premier League title between Police, Gor Mahia and Tusker.

Few would have predicted Ulinzi beating Police but that is just what happened on Friday and the law enforcers can now not afford to drop more points.

From their remaining games, there are clashes against KCB, Kariobangi Sharks, Bandari, Kakamega Homeboyz, FC Talanta, Shabana and Gor Mahia.

From the seven matches, Shabana, KCB and Homeboyz, who lie in fourth, fifth and sixth positions on the log, are potential matches that could see Police drop points, while their final game of the season against Gor Mahia is the big one.

With Gor Mahia growing from strength to strength, they will be the biggest threat to Police’s chances of winning a maiden title, if the law enforcers make it to the final match of the season while still in the title race.

Meanwhile, Tusker FC have been handed an advantage a number of times but failed to utilise and it is not certain if they will profit from Police’s loss on Friday.

The brewers have recorded three draws in their last five matches, which have pegged them back and allowed Gor Mahia to close in, and cannot afford more dropped points with matches against Mathare United, AFC Leopards, City Stars, Murang’a Seal, FC Talanta, Sofapaka, Kariobangi Sharks and Homeboyz to play.

From the eight games, Mathare United have proved to be tricky for the top teams while Leopards, Sofapaka and Homeboyz will likely test their title credentials as they look for a first crown since 2022.

From the three teams, Gor Mahia appear to be the ones in the driver’s seat as they are unbeaten in the league in their last 10 games.

K’Ogalo last lost in the league on January 19, a 2-1 defeat to Tusker, while they have won three of their last five, and with their two games in hand, they can go one point ahead if they win both.

Gor Mahia’s run-in includes the Mashemeji derby against AFC Leopards as well as matches against Mara Sugar, Sofapaka, Shabana, FC Talanta, City Stars, Muranga Seal, Ulinzi Stars and Police.

Given their form, it looks like Leopards, Shabana, Sofapaka and Police are the teams likely to deny them maximum points, but they have the advantage of more matches yet to be played compared their rivals, which could hand them a third straight league title that looked far off early in the season.
