Kenya Police vs Shabana FC Preview and Team News
Kenya Police Team News
Kenya Police sit atop the Premier League standings with 61 points from 32 games, six clear of Gor Mahia. Head coach Etienne Ndayiragije has guided the side through an outstanding season, achieving 17 victories, 10 draws, and only 5 losses.
However, a significant blow hit the camp this week: key forward Mohammed Bajaber sustained a thigh injury during Harambee Stars training and is expected to miss the coming events, including Sunday’s tie.
Bajaber is a key figure in the attacking unit, contributing crucial goals since his February move.

Etienne Ndayiragije has transformed the Kenya Police into a tactically smart and defensively strong force. They play without dominating possession and rely on rapid transitions.
Their formation flexibility allows them to switch between 4‑2‑3‑1 in possession and 4‑5‑1 in defensive shape. Kenneth Muguna and Duncan Otieno pressure opponents and recycle possession. Francis Kahata and Jesse Were stretch defences, cutting inside and delivering crosses or through balls.
With 18 clean sheets, Kenya Police defend in mass, limit chances, and frustrate opponents. Without Mohammed Bajaber, the focal point will shift to their supporting forwards and creative midfielders, who will be responsible for finishing the attacks.

Their last four league meetings reveal a cautious approach: a narrow 1‑0 win over FC Talanta (May 18), a hard-fought 1‑2 loss at Kakamega Homeboyz (May 14), a 1‑0 victory at Bandari (May 9), and a 1‑0 home win over Kariobangi Sharks (May 4).
Goal-scoring is low, with 36 goals in 32 matches, averaging just over one goal per game. However, the defence is remarkably stable, achieving 18 clean sheets.
Shabana FC Team News
Shabana are fifth in the table with 46 points, firmly positioned but outside title contention. They often concede late in games and struggle to keep pace with the pace-setters.
Their recent form is mixed: a 0‑1 loss to Mara Sugar (May 18), with a 2‑1 away win over Bidco (May 14) and another 1‑0 success at KCB (May 9).
Shabana’s season tally stands at 40 goals from 32 events, averaging 1.25 per match; they both score and concede in nearly half their fixtures. Their attacking unit, though disciplined, lack a consistent prolific scorer.
Kenya Police vs Shabana FC Prediction
- Pick: 1X
- Score prediction: Kenya Police 1-0 Shabana FC
Kenya Police’s defensive mastery, flexible midfield, and home advantage give them the upper hand.
Shabana will keep in shape and try to make quick breaks, but without a finishing touch, it’s unlikely that they’ll score a goal. Expect a tense, low-scoring match, with Police narrowly winning or securing a draw, enough to clinch their first title.
Kenya Police vs Shabana FC Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Total Under 3.5
In their last five games, Police achieved three 1-0 victories, a 2-1 win, and a 1-2 loss. On the other hand, Shabana also played five matches, all with scores under 3.5. These trends indicate that another close scoreline might be expected.
Kenya Police approach this decider with home advantage, and a tactical system built for defensive control. Shabana have an attacking brand and high press, aiming to stifle the leaders but lack consistency and cutting edge when facing defensively strong opponents.
Expect a low-scoring match.
