Posta Rangers vs Mara Sugar: Battle for Supremacy in FKF Premier League

By Francis Onyach - Reporter

Kenya, 15 November 2025 - The anticipation is high as Posta Rangers prepare to face Mara Sugar in a round 9 clash of the FKF Premier League.

Scheduled for Saturday at 2pm, this encounter is more than just a fixture.

It is a contest of grit, form, and ambition for two teams aiming to cement their status in the league’s competitive mid-table.

Teams With Something to Prove

Posta Rangers, traditionally known for their resilience, have enjoyed a shaky run in recent weeks.

The team has bagged 4 wins from their last 10 matches, drawn 3, and suffered 3 defeats. While their attack has been consistent (1.2 goals per game), defensive weaknesses remain a concern, conceding 1.3 goals per match.

Playing at home, they tend to show improvement, and today’s fixture offers the perfect stage for them to bounce back against a stubborn opponent.

Mara Sugar, on the other hand, is a newcomer with tactical discipline. Although their recent record stands at just 2 wins, 5 draws, and 3 losses in the last 10 games, they have proven difficult to break down.

Their defensive structure sees them conceding less than a goal per game on average, but their attack has struggled (0.7 goals per match).

Traveling away, they have managed to record fair results, making them a team not to underestimate.

Head-to-Head

Each of the recent two meetings ended 1-1.

Key Factors

Form guide: Posta Rangers, who sit 2 points above Mara Sugar, have had a poor run of results, recording just one win, two draws, and two losses.

Mara Sugar has had a great run in the last five games, recording two wins (the last of which came against a resurgent AFC Leopards) and three draws. They have a solid defensive record, conceding only three goals though through the run.

Goals expected: Both sides are likely to be on the scoresheet as attacking units find space.

Discipline: Cards have been moderate; tactical fouling and fast transitions could play a part.

A narrow win for Posta Rangers seems likely as they look to get back to winning ways after their loss away at Sofapaka four days ago, yet a draw cannot be ruled out, given the evenly matched squads and history of shared spoils.

Expect an attacking football, tight marking, and a contest that will keep fans on the edge of their seats.

Get ready for an electrifying match, filled with drama and footballing spirit!
