Shabana have already had a brush with shaping the title race when they faced Gor Mahia recently.

Despite a spirited performance, they fell 1-0, allowing K'Ogalo to keep their championship hopes alive.

Now, fate presents the Glamour Boys another critical opportunity, this time, to stall Kenya Police’s charge for the title.

With Gor Mahia currently sitting third on 54 points and Kenya Police leading with 61, a Shabana victory could significantly alter the dynamics at the top.

If Gor Mahia manage to secure wins against AFC Leopards in the Mashemeji Derby and Ulinzi Stars, and Shabana do their part by halting Police, it will set up a mouthwatering final day showdown.

Adding a twist to the tension is the growing banter between fans and clubs on social media.

In response to K'Ogalo fans urging Shabana to 'do the right thing,' the Shabana FC admin cheekily reminded everyone, “Every club should win their own games.”

The playful jab highlights the emotional weight of the upcoming fixtures.

For Shabana themselves, the stakes are equally high. Currently fifth in the standings, they need to win their remaining matches to break into the top four, a significant achievement in their campaign.
