The hosts are still reeling from their CAF Champions League exit and the recent departure of head coach Etienne Ndayiragije, while Posta Rangers arrive in Nairobi determined to consolidate their position near the top of the table after a solid start to their domestic campaign.

Currently, Kenya Police sit 16th in the standings with just four points, having played only two matches due to their recent continental commitments. Posta Rangers, meanwhile, occupy third place with eleven points from six games.

They have enjoyed a solid start to the 2025 campaign, collecting three wins, two draws, and one loss in their last six league outings.

Posta Rangers have been particularly strong going forward, scoring ten goals across those matches, an average of 1.67 per game, while conceding the same number, a statistic that highlights both their attacking intent and defensive vulnerability.

The two sides head into this fixture in contrasting form, but both have plenty to prove as the season begins to take shape.

It has been a turbulent few weeks for Kenya Police.

The club parted ways with Burundian head coach Ndayiragije following a disappointing 4-1 aggregate defeat to Sudanese giants Al Hilal Omdurman in the CAF Champions League second preliminary round.

Ndayiragije, who famously guided Police to their maiden Premier League title last season, reportedly requested to be relieved of his duties amid growing tension with senior players and the club’s management.

His departure leaves a significant void at the helm just as the team looks to rediscover its form and focus on the domestic front.

David Bujego, head coach of the Police Bullets, will temporarily take charge of the senior team for this match before hading over to Serbian coach Dusan Stojanovic who has since been named the new head coach.

Kenya Police have managed just one win in their last five outings across all competitions (W1 D1 L3), failing to score in their last two home matches.

Domestically, however, their performances have been relatively consistent. Their 1-0 home defeat to Al Hilal and a goalless draw against Ulinzi Stars underscored a lack of sharpness in the final third.

They remain a side with considerable squad quality, capable of turning games on their day.

Bujego is expected to set up in a familiar 4-3-3 formation, relying on his team’s physicality and experience.

The expected starting XI could see Job Ochieng retain his spot in goal, with a backline of Daniel Sakari, David Ochieng, Brian Okoth, and Baraka Badi.

In midfield, the trio of Charles Ouma, Brian Musa, and Marvin Nabwire could anchor play, while Albert Otieno, Eric Zakayo, and Edward Omondi are likely to lead the attack.

With the pressure on to deliver a reaction at home, Kenya Police will be keen to capitalize on their 67 percent winning record in recent meetings against Posta Rangers.

Yet their biggest challenge lies in rediscovering attacking fluency, something they have lacked in recent matches.

Posta Rangers will be eager to bounce back this weekend after a 2–2 draw against Murang’a Seal, where they squandered a two-goal first-half lead following strikes from Faustine Ojiambo and captain Caleb Olilo. Coming off a 3–0 loss to Gor Mahia, coach Sammy Omollo has urged his players to tighten up defensively, having conceded in six consecutive matches despite showing attacking flair and improved performances compared to last season.

Omollo is expected to name a familiar lineup as he seeks stability and balance. Fredrick Odhiambo should start in goal, supported by a backline of Leon Kimungui, Faustine Ojiambo, Dimpol Omamo, and Bernard Odhiambo. The midfield trio of Vincent Wasambo, Jackson Dwang, and Kevin Juma will aim to provide control and structure.

In attack, Posta will likely rely on Brian Marita, Eliud Lokuwam, and Olilo to provide the cutting edge. Encouragingly, the Rangers have shown resilience on the road, winning two of their last three away games, a run that could prove vital as they seek to regain momentum.

The rivalry between Kenya Police and Posta Rangers has been closely contested in recent years. Kenya Police hold the upper hand, winning three of the last five meetings between the two sides. The other two ended in a draw and a Posta Rangers victory.

Historically, encounters between these teams tend to produce goals. Police will look to build on their defensive solidity and strong home record, while Posta will bank on their fluid attacking play to unsettle the hosts.

With both teams eager to make a statement and climb the table, the clash promises to be fiercely competitive.

Key pointers

Posta Rangers have been impressive in front of goal, scoring 10 times in their six matches so far.

Posta’s recent away form has been encouraging, with two wins from their last three trips, including victories over Mathare United (2–1) and Shabana (2–1).

Kenya Police FC have made a steady start to the SportPesa Premier League season, winning one and drawing one of their two matches to date.

Both sides are capable of scoring, but Posta Rangers’ attacking depth and recent away form should not be overlooked.Kenya Police’s defensive discipline will likely make this a tight affair, but Posta’s hunger to return to winning ways after two winless matches could make the difference. Expect a lively contest with goals at both ends.

Given both teams’ recent scoring trends, with Posta scoring in five of their last six matches and Police conceding in most of their recent outings, this encounter is likely to produce multiple goals. A 2 to 1 win for Kenya Police appears the most probable outcome.
