Gor will be looking to boost their title charge with victory over Leopards who will be eyeing the bragging rights, having failed to beat their rivals for seven years.
The much anticipated Mashemeji derby clash between AFC Leopards and Gor Mahia is finally upon us and will take place at the Nyayo National Stadium from 3pm this afternoon.
K'Ogalo will be coming to this game with a lot to lose, as they know that failure to win for the second league game in a row would put them in a situation difficult to control, as Tusker sailed back to the top of the league last Saturday with a 1-0 win over Kariobangi Sharks.
Gor Mahia are the league’s most prolific league, scoring 44 times, and have conceded just 16 times. The boast having the league’s top scorer, Benson Omala who has netted 25 goals and is just one shot of equalling Maurice Ochieng’s record of 26 league goals in the 1976 league season.

Aussems is expected to deploy Musa Oundo, Jaffari Owiti, captain Eugene Mukangula and Giovanni Lukwama who is likely to start in place of suspended Brian Wanyama. Wanyama has accumulated five yellow cards, the same as burly Nigerian forward Ojo Olaniyi.
In other matches, City Stars will be facing Bandari at the Ruaraka Stadium. Both sides are on good runs of form with Muyoti’s Simba wa Nairobi losing just once in their last five league games. Bandari are on unstoppable goal-scoring form having netted ten goals in their last two fixtures under new coach Twahir Muhidin.
Kakamega Homeboyz will be hosting Nzoia Sugar at the Bukhungu Stadium hoping to get back to winning ways, after they lost 1-0 to Tusker away last Sunday. However, it will not be easy against Nzoia Sugar who are seeking to make amends for their blip against AFC Leopards in the race for the title.
Kenya Police will be hosting Mathare United at the Police Sacco Stadium hoping to pick up where they left off when they beat Sofapaka with a win over Charles Omondi Korea’s charges. Korea is still seeking his first win since taking charge of the side two weeks ago.
