AFC Leopards vs Mara Sugar Prediction: Expect competitive performance from the two teams

The Kenyan Premier League encounter at Dandora Stadium will see AFC Leopards play Mara Sugar. Heading into this game, this will be the first-ever meeting between these sides. How will things unfold?

AFC Leopards suffered a defeat at the hands of Ulinzi Stars the previous time out and will hope to do better here. In that game, Yakeen Mutheli and Boniface Muchiri netted for their opponent, the two strikes coming in the second half. In the meantime, AFC Leopards have not won a league game of their last three, losing to Muranga and drawing Kariobangi Sharks in that run. With 10 points, AFC Leopards sit 6th in the league's log. 

Mara Sugar's last league game was against Bidco United, and they won. In a match that ended 0-2, two second-half strikes from Mike Isabwa and Meshack Karani were enough to seal maximum points for them. However, the road team has an unbeaten run of performances into this game, winning three and drawing two. This season, Mara Sugar have the second most accumulated points, 14, scoring nine goals and conceding three in that run. 

Mara Sugar are consistently showing they are true title challengers, and they look ready to compete at all times. While AFC Leopards have struggled these last few weeks, I expect a better performance from them. This is a tough game to predict, but at home, I have faith in AFC Leopards. Take this game to end with a lot of attacking plays, as the two teams could find the back of the net.
