Two-Horse Race for FKF-NSL Crown Heats Up

Title Race Narrows to Two Strong Contenders

As the 2024/25 FKF National Super League season reaches its crucial stage, the championship battle has evolved into an intense two-team contest between Nairobi United FC and APS Bomet FC.

Statistical Dead Heat

After 23 rounds of matches, the league table shows an incredibly tight race:

• Nairobi United lead with 48 points
• APS Bomet trail closely with 47 points
• Both teams have identical records of 14 wins
• Goal difference separated by just one (Nairobi United +18 vs APS Bomet +17)

Strengths and Weaknesses

The two title challengers present contrasting profiles:

Nairobi United, backed by Nairobi City County Governor Johnson Sakaja, boast the league’s most potent attack with 35 goals scored but have conceded 17 times.

APS Bomet counters with the NSL’s tightest defense, letting in only 10 goals while scoring 27 at the other end.

Playoff Race Developments

While the title race dominates attention, the battle for the playoff spot remains competitive:

• Kibera Black Stars FC (39 points) currently occupy third place
• Naivas FC (37 points) showing improved form with three straight wins
• Darajani Gogo FC (36 points with game in hand) recovering from heavy defeat

The nine-point gap between the top two and the playoff positions suggests the championship will likely be decided between the current leading pair.
