KCB to Edge a Close Contest
KCB’s defense has stood out this season, even though their last five encounters have seen most draws, their win against Mara Sugar hints that they are back in form. Their resilient defense has been evident in 80% of the fixtures this season, having been able to keep a couple of clean sheets. On the other hand, City Stars have a difficult time finding the net when playing against strong teams like KCB and Tusker FC who have strong defensive teams.
Taking into account KCB’s disciplined defense and tactical mid, and City Stars’ weak forward, there’s a strong possibility that KCB will keep a clean sheet in this match.
- Both Teams Not to Score, ___ odds on 1xBet
Strong Defenses Point to Few Goals
City Stars and KCB have demonstrated solid defense formation and performance in the recent matches. KCB Lions have conceded fewer goals compared to other teams in the Kenya Premier League, proving that their defense is solid and that they are difficult to break down. City Stars have managed to keep games at home tight even though they are struggling near the relegation zone of the table. They have had just a single home match this season seeing over 2.5 goals.
Given each team’s defense strategies and City Stars' streak of low-scoring home matches, Under 2.5 match goals is a highly possible outcome. Nairobi City Stars will play cautiously, focusing on minimizing mistakes and maintaining a strong defensive shape in order to keep away the formidable KCB Lions Strikers.
- Under 2.5 Goals, ___ odds on 1xBet
Solid Defenses to Keep One Team Off the Scoresheet
KCB’s strong defense has been the basis of their good performance this season. They have managed to keep clean sheets in most of the matches, suggesting a well-organized defence. This defensive prowess will be a challenge for City Stars to find the net since they have been struggling to break such defenses.
City Stars have had difficulties scoring, particularly against teams with strong backlines. Their matches against Tusker FC and Bandari who are at par with KCB, have ended with them failing to score, highlighting their challenge in scoring against formidable teams. With KCB’s disciplined defense and City Stars’ forward inefficiency, we are predicting that only the KCB Lions will find the net in this encounter.
