BUL FC vs KCCA FC

FUFA Technical Centre, Njeru.

Sunday, December 7, 2025 – 3pm EAT

The FUFA Technical Centre in Njeru is set to host a thrilling clash this Sunday as BUL FC welcomes KCCA FC in a highly anticipated league fixture. This match pits the hosts, the ‘Eastern Giants’, who have had a recent poor run, against the Cityzens, in an encounter offering crucial points for both clubs as the season progresses.

This will be the 29th league/cup meeting between the two sides, and the statistics highlight KCCA FC’s dominance in this fixture.

KCCA FC has not only secured more victories, 12 compared to BUL’s 7, but the Cityzens also possess an advantage in front of goal, netting 13 more goals than their opponents. However, the 9 draws also suggest that these encounters are often fiercely contested and difficult to call.

Going into this fixture, KCCA FC is enjoying a strong run of four wins in its last five games, while BUL FC will be looking to regain momentum after a mixed period.

BUL FC have lost their last two fixtures against UPPC and Kitara, and they have only won one game in their last six league matches this term.

KCCA FC is currently sitting joint top in the UPL standings and boasts one of the best attacks in the league.

Conversely, BUL FC has had a challenging few weeks, particularly struggling to find the net in their last two league games and their last two home matches.

However, over the years, playing at the FUFA Technical Centre has provided the ‘Eastern Giants’ with a much needed morale boost to grind out results.

BUL FC’s objective will be to frustrate KCCA’s attack; however, their defense, which has conceded the second fewest number of goals this term, will need to be at its absolute best.
