Gor Mahia head coach has warned his players to expect a tough and physical game against “Serikali” and they face Ulinzi Stars in a top-flight FKF Premier League fixture on Wednesday 3rd November 2021 at Thika Municipal Stadium in Thika Town – Kiambu County.
The 19 time KPL champions are currently at their best in league performance after four (4) wins out of four (4) FKF PL games will come up against a side that has proved tough whenever they meet.
Last season, it was Gor Mahia who won the first meeting 1-0 while the soldiers retaliated in their second encounter with 1-0 victory.
K’Ogalo tactician Mark Harrison has however instructed the team to be ready for the tough match as the KDF (as they are commonly known) approach games with physiques and sometimes unprofessional tackles.
“I am not aware of the history of this fixture. However, from the little I have seen of Ulinzi Stars, I expect a physical game. I have warned my players of that and, I expect them to play with clear and focused minds,” the 60-year old English tactician said as quoted by Nation Sports.
“We give all our opponents the respect that they deserve by preparing for every game the same way. It doesn’t matter who we are coming up against because we aim to impose ourselves in each match.”
On K’Ogalo’s good start to the season, Harrison said: “I have managed top clubs in Southern Africa so, I already knew what to expect when I came to Kenya.
“Of course, it has not been easy with the Covid-19 situation but, we are professionals so, we have to rise above such challenges and deliver good results.”
In the last 10 league fixtures against Ulinzi Stars, K’Ogalo won 5 matches, lost twice, and drew three times.
The match kick-off time is 3.00 PM.
