Tusker vs Bandari Prediction: The home team will go top of the table

Tusker and Bandari will square it off in round eight of the Kenyan Premier League. The two are coming off a league defeat. How will this game unfold? I will provide match analysis and betting opportunities in the next paragraphs. 

Tusker

Tusker's last league game was against Shabana, and they suffered a defeat. In a game that ended 2-1, Tusker saw an early lead from Charles Momanyi overturned, with Dennis Okoth and Ezekiah Omuri finding the back of the net for their opponent. However, that defeat was Tusker’s second in recent games, having lost 4-1 to AFC Leopards in round 13 of the Premier League. Heading into this fixture, Tusker also found luck in their matches against Bidco United, Mathare United and Posta Rangers, each ending in wins. With 27 points, Tusker sit second in the league standings, scoring 27 goals and conceding 21 in 15 matches. 

Bandari

Bandari are coming off a 2-0 defeat at the hands of AFC Leopards and will hope for a better result. In that encounter, Bandari did a good job in the first half, holding their opponent to a draw at halftime, but then conceded twice in the last 15 minutes of the game. However, Bandari have not won any of their last four league games, losing one and drawing three. Away from home, Bandari have only one win in their last five matches, coming against Nairobi City Stars. Ahead of this game, the visitors have 22 points from 14 matches, leaving them seated 7th in the standings. 

Expert Betting Tips

Tusker have dominated this fixture, and I expect a similar performance from them this time. While Bandari lost the previous time out, their performances prior to their last fixture show how competitive this team has been. This is going to be a tough time, but at home, I do not see Tusker dropping points. Also, while the two teams have struggled defensively, a bet on goals is another option to consider. 

The first option here is a win for Tusker with odds at 1.78 on 1Xbet

The second option will be a bet on both teams scoring with odds at 2.18 on Betway

The final option will be a bet on over 2.5 goals with odds at 2.50 on Bet365
