Police look to close gap on Gor Mahia as Shabana seek another lifesaving result

Kenya Police FC, who are currently second in the FKF Premier League log with 45 points, will be looking to reduce the gap between them and league leaders Gor Mahia when they face Sofapaka at the Police Sacco Grounds on Saturday, April 20.

Salim Babu's side will be keen to extend their winning streak into match week 27 after edging out KCB 0-1 to move second in the table last time out.

The sharpshooters will be looking to trim Gor Mahia's lead to six points as they await for the results of the Mashemeji Derby slated for Sunday, April 21 at Nyayo Stadium.

They are currently in a rich vein of form and have won eight matches in their last eleven games in all competitions (D3). However, they have only won once in their past five meetings with Sofapaka.

On the other hand, Sofapaka is keen to avoid relegation as they currently sit 15th on the log with 28 points, three above the drop zone.

Elsewhere, Bandari will welcome KCB at Mombasa Sports Club while Bidco United will lock horns with Posta Rangers at Thika Sub-county Stadium.
