BetOdds KPL Nzoia Sugar v Homeboyz Nzoia Sugar Homeboyz

The former Harambee Stars striker has 17 goals one more than his closest rival Umaru Kasumba of Sofapaka

Allan Wanga scored his 17th goal of the season at Sudi Stadium as he helped Kakamega Homeboyz beat Nzoia Sugar 2-0 on Thursday.

Wanga is now the clear leader on the Kenyan Premier League (KPL) top scorersâ€™ chart with a goal more than Umaru Kasumba of Sofapaka who has 16.

Dennis Odhiambo was the other scorer for Kakamega Homeboyz in a tense affair in Bungoma. The win helped the visitors earn important points that keep them chasing the top three finish, one of their seasonâ€™s top target.

Meanwhile, at Awendo Stadium, Sony Sugar got a 2-0 win over visiting KCB. Sony Sugarâ€™s lead striker Derrick Otanga bagged his 12th goal of the running campaign in the 55th minute of play.

Salmon Omollo had powered the Sugar Millers ahead in the 35th minute and Otangaâ€™s strike confirmed the home side win and condemned the Bankers to another loss after winning the previous match against Mount Kenya United with a 2-0 win.

Finally, Posta Rangers defeated Ulinzi Stars 1-0 at Afraha Stadium in Nakuru and the victory might prove very vital at the end of the season for them.

Posta Rangers are trying to race clear from the play-offs position currently held by Vihiga United who were defeated by Bandari on Wednesday.

Five points separate Posta Rangers from Vihiga United after matchday 29 of action.

The Mailmen took the lead at the hour mark as Gershon Likonoh powered home a low drive that James Saruni was unable to prevent. Brian Osumba created the chance that enabled Posta Rangers to pick four points from the Soldiers.

The 1-0 loss to Ulinzi Stars meant Ochieng has ceded some more ground in the race to win the KPL Golden Boot against Wanga and Kasumba. Ochieng who last scored for his side against Gor Mahia on April 29 has 15 goals to his name.
