Tusker faces mounting pressure as league form declines, with the club struggling to maintain consistency since their last victory on February 10. The brewers have endured a series of setbacks, including defeats to Kakamega Homeboyz, Nzoia Sugar, Gor Mahia, and AFC Leopards, leaving them sixth in the 2018/2019 SportPesa Premier League standings.
Coach Robert Matano acknowledged the team's shortcomings after a 2-1 loss to AFC Leopards on March 11, stating, "We deserved to lose this game. We should have scored at least three goals with the chances we had." The defeat came just a day after club chairman David Aduda announced the team's withdrawal from the FKF SportPesa Shield to focus on the league title race.
Leopards' win propelled them to 14th in the table, with Congolese forward Wayi Yeka and young midfielder Vincent Oburu scoring the decisive goals. Rwandan coach Andre Casa Mbungo emphasized the challenges of adapting to his philosophy, citing fitness issues and confidence gaps among players.
Other league results saw Bandari's title aspirations falter after a surprise loss to Ulinzi Stars, while Sony Sugar secured a 1-0 victory over Mount Kenya United, reinforcing the latter's relegation concerns.
