Homeboyz face Bandari seeking to entrench top ten credentials

In the last eight matches played before the Sportpesa Premier League took a break, Kakamega Homeboyz recorded four wins, one draw, and three losses.  Three of the club's wins came at home and three of the victories were against releation candidates Thika United, Nairobi City Stars, and Sofapaka.

On Saturday, July 2, 2016, the club from Western Kenya will come up against Bandari, this coming off the back drop of a draw against Ulinzi FC in their final match before the league break. Considering that it is a promoted team, Homeboyz should be commended for finding themselves a place amongst the league's top ten teams and on the basis of their performances so far, they have what it takes to remain there when the final whistle of the season is blown.

Bandari FC returned to the top flight with a storm, winning three and drawing three of their first seven matches of the season to find themselves amongst the early league leaders. However their performances in their final eight matches before the league took a break indicated a clear loss of form and they must have celebrated the arrival of the break. In their last eight matches, Bandari have won only one match (away to Ushuru). they have lost four (three at home) and drew three (two at home). They are clearly a team who found the tough going in their own coastal backyard.

Bandari's consolation is that their next opponents have one of the worst defence records in the league but he flip side is that Home boys have performed fairly well at home, winning three and losing only one of their last four home matches.

The teams have met three times previously, with Bandari boasting a 3-0 head-to-head record. This match has potential of ending in a draw but Bandari might just nick a win here and maintain their unbeaten record against Kakamega Homeboyz.
