The Northern Irish tactician further says a draw or a loss will spell doom for their title ambitions.
“AFC Leopards for now don't have pressure because they are out of the title race and for Gor Mahia, they are a bit under pressure but I trust K’Ogalo to come out 2-0 winners,” he said.

The Kenyan tactician feels K’Ogalo have collected three points from Ingwe even before the ball rolls.
Apart from discussing the Mashemeji derby, Dawo has also shared his experience of playing in the biggest game of the Football Kenya Federation Premier League calendar.
“One of the biggest problems with the derby is fear and nerves. Whoever gets into the free mood first will win in a derby. The longer you take to try and control the game, then, you are in trouble. Gor Mahia vs AFC Leopards was always tense,” added Dawo.
