Police FC vs KCB Prediction: Will KCB's Coach FKF Experience Produce Result?

Police FC and KCB are through to the FKF Cup finals, as both teams will be looking to get their hands on the trophy. This interesting football match will be held on Saturday, June 29th, at 14:00. Let's take a quick look at the team stats and see who is our likely winner in this match.

Police FC

Police FC has been impressive this season in the Kenya League, finishing in 3rd place and having the third lowest number of concealed goals. They have only lost twice in their last 21 matches, winning 13 of them. Their FKF Cup run started with a win against the Mombasa Stars, in which Tito Okello scored a brace to get Kenya Police to the quarterfinals. Continuing their goal-scoring spree, Police FC beat Sofapaka with goals from David Okoth, Marvin Nabwire, and Samuel Onyango (who scored a brace). Target man Tito Okello came through in the 7th minute against the AFC Leopards in the semifinals.

KCB

KCB has a tough league campaign and is the underdog in this final. They have an experienced coach, Mwalala, who won the FKF Cup with Bandari in 2019. He will be hoping to repeat this success once again. KCB's league form run toward the close of their season has been nothing short of impressive. They have only lost twice in their last 15 matches. This incredible performance got them a 10th-place season finish. In the FKF Cup run, they defeated Bidco United with goals from Derrick Otanga, Philemon Nyakwakwa, and Haniff Wesonga in the first half to progress into the quarterfinals. Danson Namasaka's goal in the 58th minute helped KCB get the semifinal spot. KCB defeated the Kariobangi Sharks in the semifinals after a 1-1 draw in regulation time that was later decided by penalties. Derrick Otanga, Henry Onyango, Danson Chetambe, and Brain Ndenga all scored their penalties at the Police Sacco Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

Analysis and Prediction

The winner in this final will qualify to represent the country at the CAF Confederation Cup next season. Mwalala has experience winning this kind of final with mid-table teams like Bandari. He will be looking to establish his consistent one-game-at-a time rule that has gotten him to the finals. Tito Okello has been instrumental in the Kenya Police's run both in the league and the FKF Cup. He will be looking to get on the score sheet. The best bet here will be on Tito Okello to score anytime. Police FC has played KCB once this year and won. Aside from that win, the six previous times both clubs have met, KCB has won three. Police FC are currently the bookies favorites, but KCB has been an impressive team with coach experience. This is a tight contest, but I predict goals, with KCB winning the trophy.
