The FKF Premier League is set to go for a break over the weekend to pave way for the Betway Cup scheduled to kick off starting on Saturday 13th.

Different clubs in the Premier League have played a different number of games, with some 12 while others 11. Tusker FC is at the top of the table with 26 points from 11 games while KCB is second, just a point behind leaders.

Big spenders Wazito FC are third with 20 points from 11 matches one above AFC Leopards, who have played a game less.

Under this article, we will put our focus on how teams have fared this season at the back. Only AFC Leopards, KCB, and Ulinzi Stars have conceded fewer goals since the start of the 2020 KPL campaign.

KCB

Kenya Commercial Bank S.C remains the club to have conceded fewer goals compared to the 17 clubs in the Premier League. The banked have shipped in only four goals since the start of the campaign from the ten matches they’ve played.

KCB conceded their first-ever goal of the season on matchday four and it came against Bandari FC as they won 2-1. They then suffered their first defeat and only in the seventh match, as they conceded two goals in 2-1 defeat to AFC Leopards, amounting to three goals.

The fourth goal to concede came against Western Stima as they secured a 3-1 victory over the Power Men.

Ulinzi Stars 

Ulinzi Stars are the second-best team having only conceded four goals this season. The Soldiers are eighth on the log with 14 points from eleven matches.

It wasn’t the best start to the league for Ulinzi as they suffered a 1-0 loss to defending champions Gor Mahia, their first goal to ship in.

They conceded another goal during a 1-1 draw against Nairobi City Stars before beating Mathare United 2-1.

Their most recent encounter was against Western Stima as they conceded two goals with the game ending 2-2. 

AFC Leopards 

Ingwe has had a good start to the current campaign as they are currently fourth on the log having conceded six goals while scoring 13 in the process.

Having so far played nine matches this season, Leopards failed to keep a clean sheet in the opener as they beat 2-1.

Leopards kept two consecutive clean sheets against Bidco United and Sofapaka before suffering a 2-0 loss to Western Stima and another 1-0 defeat against Wazito FC.

They then conceded their sixth goal of the season in their 2-1 victory over Posta Rangers.

Those are the only teams to have conceded less than ten goals so far this season in the Kenyan Premier League while Western Stima has conceded the most goals, 22 so far.
