FKF Premier League prediction: who will win the 2025-26 Kenyan championship?
Winners of nine of the last 12 Kenyan Premier League titles, there are major doubts surrounding perennial favourites Gor Mahia. The entire coaching staff was sacked following the club’s 2-1 defeat in the Mozart Bet Cup final at the end of last season, which confirmed that K’Ogalo would finish trophyless for the first time in nine years. With Gor Mahia now seemingly in a rebuild, they face a sizable challenge if they are to reclaim their league crown.
Kenya Police FC look to be a solid choice this year. They finished six points clear at the top of the standings last year and lifted their first ever KPL title. Their path to the league championship was paved by their rock solid defence, which conceded just 17 goals in 34 league fixtures. With manager Etienne Ndayiragije having instilled a winning mentality and a strong defensive structure, the defending champions present good value to have a repeat performance this campaign. Our Kenyan Premier League prediction: Kenya Police FC champions!
Kenya Premier League top scorer prediction: which player will score the most goals?
One of the standout young players in the Kenyan Premier League is Tusker’s Ryan Ogam. The 20-year-old finished third in the scoring charts in the 2024-25 season with 15 goals but likely would have comfortably won the award had he not suffered a meniscus tear in early April which ruled him out for the remainder of the campaign.
With Tusker being one of the top teams in the league and having tied for the second most goals in the previous season, Ogam should have plenty of opportunities to find the net. Should he be able to stay fit, he’s an excellent candidate to win the golden boot. Our 2025-26 Kenyan Premier League top goalscorer prediction: Ryan Ogam!

Beginners Guide to how the Kenya Premier League works
The Kenya Premier League is the top division in the country consisting of 18 teams. They all play each other home and away, giving us a total of 34 matches for each of the competing teams.
While previous seasons have seen three teams relegated in total, the 2025-26 season will see four teams go down as the league prepares to restructure to a 16-team league starting from 2026-27 onward. The bottom two teams go straight down to the National Super League. Finishing 16th takes a team into the relegation play-off against the side who finishes third in the National Super League.
At the end of the season many places have an impact on the future of clubs:
- The club finishing top of the table are the Kenyan champions and go into the qualifying rounds of the CAF Champions League.
- The 15th ranked club goes into a relegation play-off.
- Those finishing 16th, 17th and 18th are relegated to the National Super League. The top two in that league replace them next season.
As you will have understood, there are therefore many intricacies in the Kenyan Premier League. That's why the KPL predictions have grown increasingly popular for UK bettors.

How to make good predictions on all Kenya Premier League matches?
To make a winning prediction on the Kenya Premier League, several factors must be considered. This requires in particular a good knowledge of the championship and how it works, as well as disciplined betting practices that the bettor must adopt. Specialists of the Kenya Premier League for a few years, SportyTrader and its experts give you their top advice in order to make a reliable predictions on the Kenyan championship:
- Check the form of Kenya Premier League teams
- Take into account the form/absence of Kenya Premier League top players
- Pay attention to games without stakes at the end of the season
- Analyze the odds and bet on those that provide the most value
- Analyze the latest stats in the Kenya Premier League
Following these tips will allow you to more accurately predict KPL matches and ultimately increase your win rate. Find the details of each of them below.
Consult the current form of the Kenya Premier League teams
This is certainly the advice that is given first, which applies for all competitions and all sports. Indeed, in order to offer the most reliable Kenya Premier League prediction possible, it is essential to consult the form of the teams involved in your bet.
For example, a team like Ulinzi Stars have lost their last four games and now host Tusker who are on a five game winning streak. On paper, the two clubs are not at the same level and it’s Tusker who has a much better squad. Look at the form to see just how clubs have been faring in recent matches and use that knowledge to make your prediction.
Take into account the form/absence of Top Kenya Premier League players
The second tip is also very important. Indeed, as we know, football is played with 11 players but there are always players more important than others in a squad. It will then be important to target them for each club, then to follow their current form or their potential injury or absence.
Indeed, seeing that the best player of a team is out of form, injured or suspended will prevent you from losing a certain number of bets, but also from making better quality predictions. Don't forget, before each match, to take into account the squad named by the coach and the form shown by the players in recent matches.

Pay attention to games without stakes at the end of the season
Some games will be far more important than others as the end of the season approaches. If a team is battling to win the title or avoid relegation, then their games are important and full strength line-ups will be fielded if possible.
However, if a side is in mid-table and with no chance of the title or relegation, then they may decide to rest players. Perhaps experiment by giving some youngsters a chance to show what they are capable of. Look to see how important a match is to each team.
Analyze the odds and bet on those that provide the most value
Our fourth piece of advice: it is obviously necessary to analyze the odds and add those that provide value-betting opportunities to your bet slip. Indeed, the bookmakers shape the odds themselves, and there may be differences from one operator to another. Remember that the most popular don't always offer the best value!
It will then be important to analyze those bets that have a much different implied winning probability than the forecase that you made in your research. For example, if you have studied an upcoming match and give the home team a 75% chance to win (1.33 implied odds) yet the bookmakers are offering 1.60 on a home win (62.5% implied probability), this is a bet that provides an excellent amount of value and should be bet immediately! Consistently identifying these types of spots is how you become a long-term winner, both when betting on the Kenyan Premier League as well as other competitions.
Remember to shop around for the best odds as different betting sites can vary on the odds offered for the same bet! Do not hesitate to register with as many bookmakers as possible, and not just the best site, in order to ensure that you can benefit from the best odds, but also from everyone's superb welcome bonuses!
Analyze the latest stats in the Kenya Premier League
Finally, it will also be important to analyze the statistics of the championship on which you wish to bet, in this case the Kenya Premier League. First, it will be interesting to see the overall statistics recorded on the current edition, which you will find a little further down this page. This will give you a solid overview of the style of play in the competition that awaits you.
Secondly, the statistics of the last matches played by the teams involved in your bet will also be very relevant for you. Indeed, a team can have bad results for 2 or 3 games, but remain dominating and simply lack luck. The change of dynamic should then arrive soon.

The Kenya Premier League statistics to know for your predictions
In order to improve the chances of your bet on the Kenya Premier League being successful, you need to have a good knowledge of relevant statistics. Below we have some key statistics from the recently completed 2024-25 league campaign:
- Average goals scored - 1.97 per match
- Average home goals - 1.12 per match
- Average away goals - 0.86 per match
- Both teams to score (BTTS) - 43% of matches
- Home win percentage - 38%
- Draw percentage - 36%
- Away win percentage - 26%
- Over 1.5 goals - 59%
- Over 2.5 goals - 30%
- Over 3.5 goals - 15%
- Most frequent scoreline - 1-1 (17.8% of matches)
- Most frequent halftime score - 0-0 (38% of matches)
- Average total combined shots - 22.45 per match
- Clean sheet percentage - 73% of matches
As you can see from the above numbers, goals are at a premium in the Kenyan Premier League! At under 2.00 per match, this also results in less than a third of matches finishing under 2.5 goals. Also interesting is that the home advantage in this league isn't as notable as in other leagues. In fact, the away team is able to get a result 62% of the time! Therefore, pairing an away team double chance bet with an under 3.5 goals total could present some very inviting odds. Of course, it depends on the specific matchup, but it's something to keep in mind as you prepare your bets for the 2025-26 season!
