Gor Mahia is gearing up to face Sofapaka in a crucial midweek FKF Premier League encounter, looking to recover from their recent loss against Tusker FC. The stage is set at Kenyatta Stadium, Machakos.
In their previous match, Gor Mahia faced disappointment at the hands of the Brewers, succumbing to a 2-1 defeat at the same venue.
Following this setback, Gor Mahia currently holds the fourth spot in the league standings with 24 points from 15 games, trailing league leaders Tusker by nine points. Tusker has taken the lead with a three-point advantage over second-placed KCB.
The reigning champions are eager to make the most of their upcoming fixtures to narrow the gap at the summit.
A victory against Sofapaka, who are currently tied with Gor Mahia in points and sit fifth on the table, would significantly boost Gor Mahia’s aspirations for defending their title.
However, Gor Mahia faces a tough challenge from Sofapaka, who are enjoying a resurgence with an impressive six-match unbeaten streak. Their last defeat traces back to November 28, 2024, when they narrowly lost 1-0 to Murang’a Seal.
It’s all to play for as Gor Mahia aims to secure a vital win against Sofapaka and continue their pursuit of reclaiming the top spot in the league.
