The Kenya Premier League is back! Yes, this weekend will see the Kenyan topflight league action resume after a 3-month break and two matches will be aired live on Saturday.
A doubleheader from the Moi Stadium in Kisumu will be broadcasted on the KTN News channel. First up will be Kisumu All-Stars who will be making their KPL debut against Ulinzi Stars from 2 Pm.
All-Stars were promoted after finishing as runners up in the second-tier league, the National Super League. Ulinzi Stars, on the other hand, finished in 10th position last season with 45 points, level with placed KCB.
Ulinzi has a dangerous goal threat in last season’s Golden Boot winner Enosh Ochieng who will be eager to start the new season with a bang.
Soon after that clash, the biggest match of the weekend will see the defending Champions Gor Mahia battle it out with Robert Matano’s Tusker FC from 4 PM. Tusker is the only team in the last 9 years to take the Kenya Premier League crown from Gor Mahia with two wins; one in 2012 and the other in 2016 under Paul Nkata.
Gor Mahia is in fine form and demolished Burundian side Aigle Noir 5-1 in the second leg of their CAF Champions League encounter last Sunday. Opera News provides all the goals and results from all fixtures in the Kenyan Premier League straight to your mobile phone!
