The tickets will be sold on match day outside the Stadium and in the city at Kenya Cinema starting from 9:30 am.

Mashemeji Derby mind games have started with AFC Leopards coach Patrick Aussems saying that they will be using the game as preparations for the Mozzart Bet Cup semi-final tie against  Kakamega Homeboyz.

“The 'Mashemeji' Derby will be a training match for us because I will use the game to prepare for the semi-finals. I don’t care about the remaining league matches. The federation docked us points and we are not in the title race, but we will use the games for the FKF Cup,” said Aussems.

AFC Leopards have not beaten K’Ogalo across all competitions since their 1-0 victory in March 2016.

The last Derby between these two sides ended in a goalless draw, while the other previous encounter ended in a 1-0 victory for Gor Mahia.

Gor Mahia head into the contest boasting of a lethal attack, with their main forward Benson Omala leading the Golden Boot Race with 25 goals.

K’Ogalo so far has the best defense in the league, having conceded sixteen goals so far. 

AFC Leopards lie ninth with 18 points, 21 behind Gor Mahia, who are on top of the standings with five matches to the end of the session.
