NAIROBI, Kenya (Interstat) — A struggling Sofapaka side will look to reverse a troubling trend and find its scoring touch when it hosts a defensively stout Bandari FC in a FKF Premier League match on Sunday.

The fixture at a to-be-determined venue pits a home team mired in a prolonged offensive drought against a visiting squad that has been difficult to beat but equally challenged to secure victories.

Sofapaka’s form is a primary concern. The team has failed to score in seven of its last ten league matches, including a 2-0 loss to Ulinzi Stars last Sunday. Its most recent victory dates to early February. Overall, Sofapaka has managed just one win in its last eleven outings across all competitions.

Bandari FC, based in Mombasa, arrives with more stability but its own inconsistencies. It earned a 1-0 home win over Bidco United last Saturday, but that stands as its only victory in its last five matches. Prior results show a pattern of tight, low-scoring affairs, with three draws and a loss in that stretch.

The recent head-to-head history favors the visitors. When the teams last met on Nov. 15, 2025, Bandari FC secured a 2-0 home victory. Bandari’s defense has been reliable, keeping clean sheets in four of its last ten games.

A statistical projection by Interstat forecasts a narrow 1-0 victory for Sofapaka, a result that would break both its scoring slump and its recent poor run against Bandari.

The match carries weight for both sides as they navigate the middle of the Kenyan top-flight season. For Sofapaka, it represents a critical opportunity to ignite a late-season push. For Bandari, it’s a chance to solidify its position and build momentum ahead of a daunting fixture against defending champions Gor Mahia on April 11.

Sofapaka’s upcoming schedule includes a trip to Tusker FC on April 11, while Bandari prepares for its showdown with Gor Mahia on the same date.
