KCB vs AFC Leopards Prediction: A draw is a huge outcome for the two sides

In round 17 of the Kenyan Premier League, KCB will play AFC Leopards. The two teams could not win their last league game. Will either side return to winning ways? Below, I preview this game and make predictions. 

KCB

KCB could only salvage a point in their last league game against Nairobi City Stars and will hope for a better result here. In a match that ended 1-1, Philemon Nyakwakwa's strike was good enough to see this team avoid defeat after falling behind just five minutes after kickoff. However, this team's recent games have seen them lose only once, coming against Shabana in the week 14 match. In other encounters, KCB settled for draws with Police FC, Bandari, Bidco United, and Sofapaka while picking wins over Talanta FC and Mara Sugar. With 28 points, KCB sit third in the league with five points adrift of first-placed Tusker. 

AFC Leopards

AFC Leopard's last league game was against Talanta FC, and they came out with a disappointing outcome. In a match that ended 2-4, AFC Leopards saw their lead overturned, with Odongo, Kipruto, and Osoro all netting for their opponent. However, Maxwell Otieno's last-minute and Boniface Munyendo's strikes could not see this team take something out of that encounter. Heading into this crucial fixture, Leopards have failed to win any of their last road games, which will concern them. The visitors sit 8th in the standings with 22 points. 

Expert Betting Tips

Leopards have been impressive lately, but their performance last weekend was below par. While KCB vs AFC Leopards have not had things easy winning lately, I expect more solid play from the home side. However, the two teams have a strong offensive play, and I will back this game with that option. In the meantime, while I expect a lot of play from these teams, I do not see either side taking a defeat here. A 1-1 draw at full time should be enough to settle the scores at full time.

The first option is a bet on both teams scoring with odds at 2.16 on 1Xbet

The second option is a 1-1 correct score with odds at 7.00 on Bet365

The last option is a full-time draw bet with odds at 3.00 on Betway
