Leaders Gor Mahia will be on a revenge mission when they face second-placed KCB in the top-of- the-table Football Kenya Federation Premier League (FKF-PL) clash on Friday at Moi International Sports Center, Kasarani.
KCB inflicted Gor Mahia ‘s first loss of the season when they edged them by a solitary goal at Nyayo National Stadium on January 4. Seven other matches will be on the cards on Thursday afternoon as the league enters Round 19.
Defending champions Tusker face Ulinzi Stars at Ulinzi Sports Complex in Lang’ata Barracks. Kenya Police and Nzoia Sugar, who are tied on 34 points, will battle for maximum points at Sudi Stadium in Bungoma County.
Twelve time champions AFC Leopards, who saw their 10 match unbeaten record ended by Mathare United last weekend, face a rejuvenated Posta Rangers at Nyayo National Stadium.
While Gor lead the log on 41 points, KCB are second on 36 points both having played 19 matches. Tusker and Kenya Police are third and fourth on 35 points and 34 points respectively with a game in hand.
KCB’s Kennedy Owino, who has bagged eight goals this season, sealed the maximum points for the bankers in their first leg clash with K’Ogalo.
Head-to-head record in the past six matches puts both teams at par. Gor and KCB both have won twice each, while the two other ties have ended in a barren draw.
Apart from KCB, the only other loss K’Ogalo have suffered was 2-1 defeat to Mathare United on March 1, 2023.
Gor Mahia coach Johnathan McKinstry said KCB will be a tough opponent, but is optimistic they will avenge their first leg loss.
