AFC Leopards will today, Sunday, November 15, 2026, take on Mombasa United in a Kenyan Premier League encounter as Ingwe seeks to maintain its unbeaten run and strengthen its position in the 2026/27 season.
The match is scheduled to kick off at 3:30 PM EAT at Wang’uru Stadium, with both sides targeting crucial points for different reasons.
AFC Leopards head into the encounter unbeaten in their opening six league matches, having recorded two victories and four draws. Their 2-0 victory over Kakamega Homeboyz on November 1 was an important result before they settled for a goalless draw against 3K FC on November 7. Ingwe currently has 10 points and occupies third position in the league standings.
Head coach Fred Ambani has emphasised the need for his players to improve their finishing, pointing out that missed scoring opportunities have cost the team valuable points in previous matches. Ambani wants his attacking players to remain composed in front of goal and make better use of the chances created.
On the other hand, Mombasa United head into the fixture under pressure after collecting just one point from their opening six matches. The newly promoted side sits bottom of the 18-team standings, having suffered five defeats and recorded one draw.
In their most recent league outing on November 7, Mombasa United suffered a 3-2 defeat against Shabana at Mbaraki Sports Club. This followed earlier losses against Migori Youth, who beat them 2-0, and KCB, who secured a 3-1 victory.
Assistant coach Mohamed Ahmed Mchulla has revealed that the team has been working on its defensive weaknesses, particularly dealing with set-pieces and maintaining defensive organisation after losing possession. He has also stressed the importance of improving their finishing if they are to start collecting positive results.
Captain Hakimu Msami has also expressed confidence that the players have learned from their previous mistakes and are ready to fight for their first league victory of the campaign.
Meanwhile, AFC Leopards have some injury concerns, with Eric Balecho and Samwel Semo reportedly sidelined, while the fitness of Kayci Odhiambo and Vincent Mahiga remains under assessment. Goalkeeper Tom Ikara will be one of the key players for Ingwe, having kept five clean sheets in the club’s opening six league matches.
The encounter presents an important opportunity for both sides. AFC Leopards will be looking to extend their unbeaten run and remain in contention for the league title, while Mombasa United will be desperate to secure their first victory of the season and move away from the bottom of the table.
