Record champions Gor Mahia are gearing up for a thrilling clash against Kariobangi Sharks at Kenyatta Stadium this Sunday with the opportunity to seize the top position in the Football Kenya Federation Premier League.
Sitting comfortably in second place, K’Ogalo is just two points shy of current leaders Posta Rangers, who stumbled to a narrow defeat against Nairobi City Stars on Saturday.
Gor Mahia enters this high-stakes encounter as the only unbeaten team this season, and a victory would propel them to the summit of the league table for the first time this term.
Johnathan McKinstry charges have enjoyed a formidable run of form this season, marked by their unblemished record and dominant performances on the pitch.
Their remarkable consistency has positioned them as strong contenders for the 2023/2024 season’s league title.
K’Ogalo’s remarkable run has been underpinned by the striking prowess of 22-year-old forward Benson Omala, who leads the goal-scoring chart with an impressive eight goals to his name.
Omala’s exceptional contributions have been pivotal in Gor Mahia’s journey towards the league summit.
Kariobangi Sharks, on the other hand, started the season with promise but has gradually faded as the league has picked up pace.
While they have shown flashes of brilliance, consistency has been a challenge for the Slum Boys.
In recent encounters, Gor Mahia has held the upper hand, with Sharks last securing a victory against their formidable rivals on July 21, 2021, with a 2-1 scoreline.
As they prepare to face off once again, Kariobangi Sharks will be seeking to break this jinx and reignite their season.
As the spotlight shines on Machakos Stadium, anticipation for this match is palpable among fans and enthusiasts alike.
