Tusker vs Sofapaka Prediction: A narrow margin win for Tusker expected

The action of the Kenyan Premier League shifts to the Ruaraka stadium, where Tusker will take on Sofapaka as the home team. Tusker remains in the thick of things at the top of the table, while Sofapaka's match against league leader Gor Mahia resulted in a draw earlier in the week.

After gaining a hard-fought victory over Leopards the previous week, Tusker will enter this encounter wanting to collect all three points and build on their momentum. Tusker have now gone eight matches without suffering a defeat, compiling a record of six victories and two draws during this unbeaten run. In their most recent two matches, Talanta FC and Ulinzi Stars both played to a draw against Tusker. The host team is currently four points behind the side currently in top place in the league rankings, Gor Mahia, with one match still remaining.

Last week's meeting between Sofapaka and Gor Mahia, which ended in a scoreless draw, was a significant one for the visiting team. Taking a look at their most recent encounters, Sofapaka are now unbeaten in their previous five matches, picking up three victories in that stretch while being held to draws in three other matchups. In total, they have gone five matches without suffering a loss. This season, Sofapaka have played 21 league matches, accumulating 26 points while scoring 19 goals and allowing 17 to their opponents.

Both teams have been performing really well as of late, winning their matches while also scoring more goals and allowing fewer goals against. Tusker, on the other hand, has a higher-quality and more experienced roster, which suggests that they should win this match. We don't think there will be many goals scored in this game because both teams have been good at defense in their most recent games.
