Shabana FC head into Sunday’s fixture against Kenya Police looking to extend a steady run of form that has quietly pushed the Glamour Boys back into the conversation in the SportPesa Premier League table.

Sitting 8th, level on points with three teams above them, Shabana have a genuine opportunity to climb into the top six with a strong result in Nairobi. And given the performances in recent weeks, it’s not a stretch to say they’re trending in the right direction.

Form Guide – Signs of a Team Settling In

Shabana’s recent results show a side tightening up, improving structure, and learning how to grind out points:

• Murang’a Seal 1–1 Shabana FC

• Ulinzi Stars 0–1 Shabana FC

• Kariobangi Sharks 0–0 Shabana FC

• Shabana FC 1–2 AFC Leopards

• Mathare United 0–1 Shabana FC

• Shabana FC 1–2 Posta Rangers

Three away wins in that run tell the real story — Shabana travel well, stay disciplined, and stick to their plan. That matters going into a fixture like this.

The Table – Tight, Competitive, and Opportunity-Filled

Shabana sit 8th with:

• 12 points

• +1 goal difference

• Three wins in nine

With the gap between 5th and 12th only two points wide, a single strong performance can completely reshape the outlook of the season. This match arrives at the perfect moment.

The Opposition – Kenya Police in Form, but Beatable

Kenya Police are 3rd with 17 points from eight matches.
Good start, strong structure, hard team to break down — yes.

But far from invincible.

Shabana’s recent away record suggests they have exactly the profile to frustrate Kenya Police: compact behind the ball, sharp on the counter, and increasingly calm in high-pressure matches.

Head-to-Head – Always Tight, Always Physical

The recent meetings:

• Kenya Police 1–0 Shabana

• Shabana 1–0 Kenya Police

• Kenya Police 1–0 Shabana

• Draws in 2023 and 2021

Most of these games come down to fine margins.
Will Sunday be no different?

What Shabana Need

• * Control in midfield

• * Quick transitions

• * Composure in the final third

• * A clean, disciplined defensive performance

There’s confidence in the camp, and rightly so. The structure looks better, the attitude is sharper, and the results away from home have been quietly impressive.

The Verdict

Tough opponent? Sure.

But Shabana walk into this one with momentum, belief, and a tactical profile that matches up well against Kenya Police. There’s no reason the Glamour Boys can’t take something — or everything — from this fixture.

A chance to make a statement.
A chance to climb the table.
A chance to show this league that Shabana are very much alive in the 25/26 campaign.
