SUNDAY’S GAME PREVIEW

Vihiga United vs. Soy United

VIHIGA, Kenya (Interstat) — Vihiga United hosts Soy United on Sunday in a Kenyan Super League matchup at a venue to be determined, with both teams seeking to reverse recent struggles.

The clubs last met Dec. 3, 2025, playing to a scoreless draw at Soy United.

Vihiga United (4-8-5, 17 points) enters on a positive note after a 1-0 road win over Nairobi City Stars on May 9. Victor Ochieng’s 67th-minute goal ended a four-match losing streak. Prior to that, Vihiga lost 3-2 to 3K FC on May 1 and 4-0 to Equity Bank on April 26. The team has alternated between draws and heavy defeats this season, with its last home win coming March 14 against Kibera Black Stars.

Soy United (3-9-4, 18 points) has been prone to draws and one-goal losses. Its most recent result was a 1-1 tie at Fortune Sacco on May 6. Soy United has won only once in its last eight matches (Interstat) — a 2-0 victory over Mwatate United on April 4. The team has scored just 10 goals in 16 matches, with its attack often struggling to break through.

Interstat’s game simulator projects a 1-1 draw. Defensive discipline will be key: Vihiga has been shut out four times at home this season, while Soy United has failed to score in three of its last five road matches.

Sunday’s match will be the first of four for Soy United before a break, including a road game at SamWest Blackboots FC on May 23. Vihiga United travels to Naivas FC six days later.
