Talanta FC vs Sofapaka Prediction: A draw will satisfy these teams at full time

At Ruaraka Stadium, Talanta FC will play Sofapaka in round 25 of the Kenyan Premier League. The two teams last meeting ended in a win for Talanta. Which team wins this one? I will preview this game in the following sections and offer predictions. 

Talanta FC

Talanta FC played Mara Sugar the previous time out and they ended on the losing end. In a 0-1 contest, Dennis Murunga's strike in the first half was the day’s difference, as it was enough to see his side take maximum points. In the meantime, Talanta FC's recent matches have not ended with many positives, despite picking up a win over Bandari. In other encounters, this team lost to Mara Sugar, while they drew Mathare United and Nairobi City Stars. The home team heads into this game with 22 points from 23 matches, leaving them seated in 16th place. 

Sofapaka

Sofapaka's last league game was against Mara Sugar and they settled for a draw. In a 1-1 encounter, Edward Omondi's strike put this team in the lead before the break, but a 52nd-minute Joseph Okwenda strike was enough to see this encounter end in a draw at full time. In the meantime, Sofapaka head into this game with an unbeaten run of three matches, picking a win over KCB and drawing AFC Leopards. Ahead of this game, Sofapaka have gone winless in their last four road matches, losing two and drawing two. 

Expert Betting Tips

The two teams are struggling to maintain consistent performances, but Sofapaka have been the better team all season. However, Talanta's performances in this fixture have been impressive, and I expect them to show competitiveness at home. While the two teams have been decent offensively, I believe the two teams will have a chance to score. Also, with the focus expected to be on losing, a draw at full time is a good option.
