NAIROBI, Kenya (Interstat) — Two sides desperate to halt concerning slides will meet Thursday when Police visits Sofapaka in a Kenyan FKF Premier League fixture.

The match at a to-be-determined venue pits a visiting Police side clinging to a narrow edge in the recent rivalry against a Sofapaka team mired in a prolonged scoring drought.

Police (3-8-6) secured a 1-0 victory in the last head-to-head meeting on Nov. 5, 2025. However, they arrive having won just once in their last 10 league matches, a stretch featuring six draws. Their most recent result was a 0-0 stalemate with AP’s Bomet FC on Sunday. A lack of cutting edge has been a theme; they have scored more than one goal only once in that 10-game period.

Sofapaka’s form is more alarming. The club is in a deep offensive crisis, failing to score in eight of its last 10 matches while losing seven of those. They are coming off a 2-0 loss to Homeboyz on Friday and have managed just two goals since late November, both in a 3-2 defeat to Murang’a SEAL.

The statistical outlook suggests more frustration for both attacks. Interstat’s game simulator projects a 1-1 draw, a result that would extend Police’s run of draws and Sofapaka’s winless streak.

For Police, a point on the road would continue a pattern of resilience but highlight their struggle to convert draws into wins. For Sofapaka, finding the net at all would provide a crucial spark, though their defensive vulnerabilities remain a concern.

The fixture carries significant weight in the mid-table logjam, with both teams seeking momentum ahead of congested schedules. Police faces a quick turnaround with a home match against AP’s Bomet FC on Saturday. Sofapaka travels to face Homeboyz, the team that just defeated them, on the same day.

Kickoff is scheduled for Thursday, Feb. 26, 2026.
