Kakamega Homeboyz vs Leopards Prediction: Expect goals in this match

The upcoming Kenyan Premier League fixture between Kakamega Homeboyz and Leopards is set to take place at Bukhungu Stadium in round 22. Before delving into the preview and making a prediction, let's take a closer look at the anticipated matchup.

Kakamega Homeboyz put an end to their six-match winless streak last weekend with a hard-fought victory over KCB, resulting in a 1-2 scoreline. Notably, three second-half goals, courtesy of Hillary Otieno and Omengo Estone, proved pivotal for Kakamega Homeboyz, securing the win despite Derrick Otanga's penalty strike for KCB. Assessing the overall performance of the hosts throughout the season, they have accumulated a total of 32 points from 21 matches, scoring 22 goals and conceding 18, largely attributed to their strong start to the season.

Heading into this match, the Leopards are currently on an impressive unbeaten streak of seven matches and aim to extend this run further. In their recent outings, they secured five consecutive victories against Ulinzi Stars, Muhoroni Youth, Nairobi City, Kariobangi Sharks, and Muranga. Notably, within this unbeaten stretch, they managed a draw against Muranga and secured a home win over Kakamega Homeboyz. In the ongoing season, the visitors have accumulated a total of 30 points from 21 league matches, positioning them at the 8th spot in the standings.

The visiting team enters this match in excellent form, yet it's challenging to dismiss Kakamega Homeboyz despite their recent struggles. Anticipating an open game, both teams are likely to have their opportunities, and I foresee both sides finding the back of the net at least once. In such a scenario, it appears probable that the match will end in a draw, with both teams sharing the spoils.
