Football Kenya Federation Premier League champions Gor Mahia will be seeking to secure an exclusive win, today Wednesday October 6, when they face Bandari away at Ukunda showgrounds in Mombasa.
Reeling from back-to-back look-warm performances that saw the champions lose 2-1 to Nairobi City Stars and a hot tempered 2-2 draw against Murang’a Seals last weekend, the champions look to overturn their fortunes for an elusive win this afternoon.
K’Ogalo will be under pressure to appease their fans, who expect nothing but a victory. Angry K’Ogalo supporters stormed the pitch at Kenyatta Stadium, Machakos, on Saturday, demanding explanations for the string of sub-par performances.
Gor Mahia head coach Leonardo Neiva expressed confidence that his team will be up to task as they play their rescheduled Round 3 match after their weekend heartbreak in the Sportpesa derby.
“Rivalry between Gor and Bandari is intense but we are confident of obtaining a favourable outcome and strengthening our title hopes is our main priority,” Neiva said.
“We have been training diligently and are committed to carrying out our game plan to the highest standard. Our focus is on securing all three points,” he said.
In another match, Kenya Police who have only played three times this season face Sofapaka at Dandora Stadium. Sofapaka are currently seated at the 11th position on the log with Police at 14.
