The Football Kenya Federation run FKF Premier League will enter match day 12 in the weekend of 16th and 17th May 2015 in various venues across Kenya.
On Saturday a total of 5 matches will be played while the remaining 4 matches will be played on Sunday.
FC Talanta vs. Nakumatt
The match between bottoms placed FC Talanta who started the league on a good note against first rising Nakumatt FC will be the highlight of the day. The match will be played at the Safaricom Kasarani Stadium .FC Talanta lost 2-1 last week to West Kenya Sugar and would want to redeem themselves and avoid a similar fete this weekend. They will however pray their top scorer Bernard Ongoma who has 5 goals so far will find his scoring prowess.Nakumatt on the other hand would want to continue with their fine run after handing table toppers Posta Rangers a defeat last week. They will rely on Kennedy Odinga and Tyrone Owuor upfront for goals.
Kakamega Homeboyz vs. Nairobi Stima
Bukhungu Stadium in Kakamega will be a battle field on Saturday May 16th when second placed Kakamega Homeboyz entertain Kenya Power side Nairobi Stima at a ground that the Cleopas Shimanyula boys haven’t lost this season.
Homeboyz will rely on the league’s top scorer Keiphas Baraza who has scored 8 goals and Stima should be wary of the lethal striker. Nairobi Stima who was held to a 1-1 draw last week would want to improve on that.
Agro Chemicals vs St.Josephs
Muhoroni based Agro Chemicals travel to the lakeside City of Kisumu to seek a date with visiting St.Josephs of Nakuru .The food and Chemical processing company owned Club are going into the match with mixed fortunes after being awarded their abandoned match against Zoo Kericho which was aborted in the 88th minute after fan trouble. They were fined for failing to provide enough security. This is coming at a time when they need to improve on their form at home having lost 0-1 to Nakumatt.St. Josephs who are placed 9th in the log with 13 points are not pushovers either and are wary of the threat the host will cause with their top marksman Oscar Oketch.
