Prediction APS Bomet vs Mathare United 2025/2026 – Betting Tips for the Premier League on 09/11/2025

Match context and immediate form

APS Bomet welcome Mathare United to what looks set to be a cagey encounter in this early stretch of the 2025/2026 Premier League campaign. The numbers tell a story of contrasting league positions: APS Bomet sit down the table in 18th with just five points from seven games, while Mathare United occupy a far healthier 5th spot after nine matches and 11 points. Recent fixtures add colour to that gap — APS have scraped one win and two draws in a mixed run, while Mathare arrive with momentum after a convincing 2-0 victory over Homeboyz and a 1-1 draw in their previous meeting at Bomet.

What the stats reveal

Digging into the stats shows why expectations should be tempered: both sides are modest in attack. APS Bomet have found the net six times but conceded 11, suggesting they are fragile at the back despite sporadic attacking forays. Mathare’s scoring return is similarly modest — seven goals in nine matches — but their defensive record is steadier, with four clean sheets so far this season. Shot numbers favour Mathare (89 total shots vs APS’s 48), and they produce more attempts on goal per game. Meanwhile, the over/under tendencies point towards lower-scoring affairs: APS home matches have produced over 2.5 goals in only around 43% of games, and Mathare’s matches have gone over 2.5 in just over 22% of outings. The head-to-head and most recent encounter between these sides ended 1-1, reinforcing the expectation of a tight contest.

Market outlook and bookmaker signals

Bookmaker pricing gives APS Bomet the narrow edge at 2.30 for the home win, with the draw trading at 2.80 and Mathare priced at 3.10. Those odds reflect a market that perceives a home-side advantage but acknowledges a healthy chance of stalemate — the draw sits attractively in the middle. Given Mathare’s better placement in the table, their recent clean-sheet form, and the general lack of free-flowing goals between these teams, the market is offering value for a restrained, defensive outcome.

Betting suggestion

For this fixture the clearest value sits in the goal market. Both teams have produced a low conversion of high-quality chances, and Mathare’s clean sheet count, combined with APS’s limited home scoring, points to Under 2.5 goals as the most logical pick. Back Under 2.5 goals: the pattern of recent meetings, conservative over/under percentages, and the defensive edge shown by Mathare make this the standout market for a cautious, value-driven wager.
