AFC Leopards will look to maintain their unbeaten start to the 2026/27 Football Kenya Federation League season when they face Mombasa United on Sunday, November 15, 2026, with the two sides heading into the contest in contrasting form.

Ahead of the fixture at the Wang’uru Stadium in Mwea, Leopards have won two of their six matches and drawn the other four, leaving them third in the league standings. They have scored four goals and conceded just once, while keeping five clean sheets.

Mombasa United, on the other hand, are 18th after six matches and have endured a difficult opening campaign. They have lost five of their last six matches and drawn one.

Leopards also hold the advantage in possession and passing. They have averaged 56 per cent possession and recorded 87 per cent pass accuracy, compared with Mombasa United’s 55 per cent possession and 79 per cent passing accuracy.

The Nairobi-based side have also been more efficient in front of goal, averaging 12.3 shot attempts per 90 minutes against Mombasa United’s 10.2. Leopards have created 6.3 chances per 90 minutes, slightly above United’s 5.3.

Mombasa United, however, have attempted fewer crosses, corners and passes, while their disciplinary figures are slightly higher. They average 14.7 fouls and 1.3 yellow cards per 90 minutes, compared with Leopards’ 12.3 fouls and one yellow card.

Musa Oundo will be one of the players expected to influence the match for Leopards.

The midfielder has featured in all six matches and has won nine balls, made eight interceptions and won eight second balls. His 98 per cent passing accuracy is the highest in the league, according to the pre-match statistics.

Oundo’s ability to retain possession and break up opposition attacks could prove important as Leopards seek to control the contest.

Mombasa United will look to Rodgers Angal to provide an attacking spark.

The forward has also played in all six matches and has registered one assist, seven shot attempts, six chances created and 10 cross attempts.

The statistics identify Angal as Mombasa United’s leading player for chances created and shots attempted this season, making him one of the main threats Leopards will have to contain.

The match will also be the first competitive meeting between the two clubs. While Leopards enter the encounter as the unbeaten side and clear statistical favourites, Mombasa United will be hoping to upset the form book and finally secure their first away point of the campaign.
