Gor Mahia and Tusker face off in the FKF Premier League this weekend and recent statistics show that there is plenty to worry for K’Ogalo who will be keen to protect their unbeaten run
Gor Mahia and Tusker FC will renew their rivalry in the FKF Premier League again this weekend when K’Ogalo host the Brewers.
Unlike in October, both sides face off as two of the three most inform teams in the league with Gor Mahia yet to lose a match this season and Tusker unbeaten in eight, including five straight victories.
K’Ogalo have been unbreakable, showing great resolve and strength to record late wins, while Tusker have been free-flowing, beating their rivals with ease.

FKFPL Gor Mahia boss McKinstry fretting over rejuvenated Tusker ahead of epic clash
Gor will be playing Tusker in their next league game of the season.
It is a stark contrast to their last meeting in October when Tusker were struggling. At the time, Robert Matano’s job was under threat, having recorded just two wins in their first six games of the season, and their struggle would continue until the start of November.
At the time, Gor Mahia were enjoying a double-digit lead over Tusker but heading into this weekend, the brewers are nine behind and can narrow the gap to six if they manage to do what no team has done so far, beat K’Ogalo.
That would set up another intriguing title battle between the two as witnessed last season, when Gor won by just one point on the final day, and recent statistics back Tusker in this high stakes game.

FOOTBALL AFC Leopards forced to re-strategize with transfer targets proving difficult to acquire
AFC Leopards’ transfer business seems to be experiencing problems with key targets either too expensive or opting against a move, so where do they turn now?
Of their last eight meetings in all competitions, Gor have managed two wins, Tusker claiming three, with the others ending in draws.
It means free-flowing Tusker have a good chance against a Gor team that has been winning by one-goal margins in their last three games.
Gor’s win over Tusker in October was a controversial 1-0 victory with Benson Omala scoring from what appeared to be an offside position.

FOOTBALL Pamzo explains what he wants to change at Shabana as he outlines transfer plans
Newly-appointed Shabana coach Sammy Pamzo Omollo has detailed what he did differently before their five-goal win at the weekend while revealing his transfer plans
The two teams had played out a barren draw in their title push last May, the result coming after Gor won the first leg 2-1 in February.
That had been the first win for Gor Mahia against Tusker after five failed attempts, the Brewers winning three and two ending in draws.
It is also worth noting that Gor Mahia have only scored more than once in one of those eight matches which should give Matano hope now that his forwards are firing on all cylinders.
