Prepare for an electrifying encounter as FKF Premier League champions Gor Mahia take on their fierce rivals Tusker FC this Sunday, February 16, at Machakos Stadium. The stakes have never been higher for the defending champions, who are still reeling from their earlier defeat to Tusker—a painful 2-1 loss on January 19 that they hope to avenge.
A win for K’Ogalo not only provides a chance for redemption but also brings them closer to the league leaders. Currently sitting in fourth place with 34 points, Gor Mahia trails joint leaders Kenya Police and Tusker, each with 38 points.
But Tusker FC is determined to maintain their momentum and hand Mihic his first defeat since taking over Gor Mahia. The Serbian coach made a strong entrance, leading the team to a thrilling 2-1 victory over Mathare United last weekend, and he will be looking to build on that success.
With 29 goals scored, Gor Mahia has established itself as a formidable attacking presence, though they trail Tusker, who has netted 31 goals. However, the Brewers have shown signs of vulnerability, struggling to find the back of the net in their last two matches—a goalless draw against Kenya Police and a barren stalemate against KCB. This trend could give Mihic and his squad the leverage needed to stifle Tusker’s offensive threats.
As the race for the FKF Premier League title reaches a fever pitch, this match represents a crucial opportunity for both teams to assert their dominance and move closer to glory.
Gor Mahia is poised to exploit Tusker’s recent scoring struggles, while the Brewers will strive to reinforce their title credentials with another victory over the defending champions.
With so much on the line, expect nothing short of an intense, high-stakes battle at Machakos Stadium—a clash between two of Kenya’s football giants that could very well define the season. Don’t miss it!
