AFC Leopards vs Talanta FC Prediction: Talanta will struggle once again

At Dandora Stadium, AFC Leopards will play Talanta FC in round 16 of the Kenyan Premier League. The home team won the last meeting of this game and will hope for a similar outcome. Which team wins this one? Below, I provide a full match preview and betting analysis.

AFC Leopards

AFC Leopard's last league game was against Bandari, and they secured a 2-0 win. In that encounter, AFC Leopards needed two second-half strikes to secure maximum points, with Ronald Sichenje and Victor Omune striking for this team. However, AFC Leopards head into this game with an unbeaten run of five matches. In that run, AFC Leopards defeated Police FC and Tusker while drawing Kakamega Homeboyz and Sofapaka. In their last home games, AFC Leopards won four of the recent five, drawing Mara Sugar. With 22 points from 14 matches, AFC Leopards sit 6th spot, eight points adrift of first-placed Tusker. 

Talanta FC

Talanta FC were on the road against Kakamega Homeboyz and lost 0-1. In that encounter, Pius Wangi Mzee's strike in the 75th minute was the difference, good enough to see this team secure maximum points. However, Talanta FC have lost their last three matches without a win in their last four games. In that run, this team lost to Muranga and Police FC while drawing Nairobi City Stars. In fact, Talanta FC have only one win in nine league games coming against Mara Sugar. In the league, Talanta FC have accumulated 14 points from 16 games. In those matches, this team scored 12 goals and conceded 18.
