KCB FC will be looking to strengthen their position at the top of the FKF Premier League when they take on Kakamega Homeboyz in a crucial Sunday afternoon encounter at Bukhungu Stadium.

The Bankers head into the fixture leading the league standings with 13 points, level with defending champions Gor Mahia, who will not be playing this weekend.

A victory would take KCB to 16 points, giving them a three-point advantage over their closest challengers and strengthening their early-season title ambitions.

However, their opponents will be equally determined to collect maximum points as they battle to escape the relegation zone.

Kakamega Homeboyz are currently struggling near the bottom of the standings with five points after going four consecutive league matches without recording a victory.

The hosts will be hoping to use their home advantage to turn around their disappointing campaign and improve their position on the table.

Their recent 2-2 draw against Kenya Police provided some encouragement, although the team remains under pressure to secure its first victory in several matches.

KCB, on the other hand, will approach the contest with confidence following their impressive start to the season.

The Nairobi-based outfit understands that dropping points against the struggling hosts could deny them an opportunity to create some distance between themselves and Gor Mahia.

With the defending champions missing this weekend's action, the Bankers have a golden opportunity to strengthen their grip on the league summit.

For Homeboyz, another defeat would deepen their relegation concerns and increase pressure on the team to deliver positive results in upcoming fixtures.

The highly anticipated encounter is scheduled to kick off at 3pm at Bukhungu Stadium, with both sides having important points to fight for.
