AFC Leopards vs Bandari Prediction: History will repeat itself

Dandora Stadium will host round 15 of the Kenyan Premier League encounter between AFC Leopards and Bandari. Heading into this game, both teams have an unbeaten run of matches. Can Bandari, away from home take a point? Below, I will provide a match preview and make betting opportunities available. 

AFC Leopards' last encounter was against Sofapaka, which was away from home, and they secured a 1-1 draw. In that encounter, AFC Leopards took the lead in just six minutes, with Kelly Madada striking for them. However, five minutes before the end of the game, Edward Ondimo's strike denied AFC Leopards maximum points. In the meantime, AFC Leopards have an unbeaten run of four matches. In those encounters, this team defeated Police FC and Tusker while settling for a draw with Kakamega Homeboyz. 

This season, from 13 matches, AFC Leopards have 19 points. In those games, the home side scored 17 goals while conceding 12, and they sit in the 8th spot.

Bandari played Mathare United the previous weekend, and they could only take a point. In a game that ended 2-2, Bandari took a two-goal lead from Sharrif Majabe and Beja Nyamawi strikes. In the meantime, a second-half performance saw them concede twice, with an 88th-minute Sharrif Majabe own goal denying them maximum points. 

Away from home, Bandari have gone unbeaten in eight consecutive matches. In that run, Bandari won three while drawing five. Scoring six goals, Bandari conceded three in the same run. With 22 points accumulated from their 13 matches played this season, Bandari sit 4th in the league standings. 

Bandari have one win in the last five meetings of this fixture. The remaining four ended in AFC Leopards’ form. AFC Leopards and Bandari's last matches have ended with both teams not scoring in five successive matches. 

The AFC Leopards have the better chance at home, considering how brilliant they have been in this fixture. While Bandari will look to keep their impressive run intact, I expect them to approach this fixture from a defensive end. While the road team has struggled offensively, their defensive strength will be a huge benefit. The two teams will have their chances, but I think it is worth taking AFC Leopards at home, looking at the record of this game, while I expect a very few goals.
