Will the Gusii based side hand Police the title with a game to spare?

The first leg ended in favour of Shabana who won 1-0 at their backyard and will be out to complete double to stay on course for a second-place finish.

Police on the other hand will leave nothing to chance knowing clearly destiny is in their own hands, and if they don't do it Sunday, a showdown against K'Ogalo awaits them in the final round of matches.

For Gor Mahia, who have had their interim coach Zedekiah 'Zico' Otieno concede on title race, face Ulinzi stars at the Ulinzi Sports Complex.

Gor will need to win all their remaining two matches to mathematically stand a chance to defend the title with the hope that Police lose theirs to leave the season decided on goal difference.

Who will stay afloat?

At the bottom of the pile, Murang'a Seal, Bidco United and Nairobi City Stars all stand a chance of survival.

As the table currently stands, not even Ulinzi Stars who are placed 11th on 37 points are safe, that shows how interesting the final two matches will be.

Murang'a travel to the Awendo Green Stadium to take on hosts Mara Sugar who occupy 13th spot on 35 points, and a win for the central region-based side will take them to 36 points while in the other fixture bottom placed City Stars take on KCB FC at the Sportspesa Arena in Murang'a.

The Kawangware based side, who are on 31 points, will have to bag maximum points to enhance their chances of either surviving or booking a playoff slot.

The other entertaining clash will feature Bidco United against Kakamega Homeboyz at the Thika Stadium.
