Kenya Police FC will try to keep their winning run going when they play against Kakamega Homeboyz on Saturday at Kenyatta Stadium in Machakos. This is an important match in the Football Kenya Federation (FKF) Premier League.
At the beginning of the season, the team had some problems, and their coaches, Salim Babu and Anthony Kimani, were let go. But since Burundian coach Etienne Ndayiragije took over, things have changed a lot. Under his leadership, Police has won five games in a row, moving them up to third place in the 18-team league with 23 points from 13 games. They are just one point behind the two teams tied for first place, KCB and Tusker.
Their recent wins include beating Gor Mahia (1-0) and FC Talanta (1-0), showing how strong their defense is and how well they can score. But now they face Homeboyz, who are in 14th place with 15 points, which will be a new challenge. In the past, the two teams have had different results, but Police did well against Homeboyz last season.
