Gor Mahia form and stats

When playing at home in the Premier League, Gor Mahia have managed 4 wins, 1 draw and suffered 4 defeats from 9 games. The team is doing great wherever they are playing as Mahia has won six games in a row. The Posta Rangers match was the last time out without a victory.

The Gor Mahia goalkeeper is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 307 minutes without conceding a goal in the Premier League.

A good away victory last time out for Mahia, who won 1-0 against Mathare United (placed 17th).

In the game before, an away victory match versus Wazito with a 1-0 scoreline.

Mahia are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 9 goals in 9 games. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Mahia have only conceded 7 from their league home games.

Sofapaka form and stats

There's been little loot from Sofapaka's travels as they have only collected 8 points from 10 away games in the Premier League. Sofapaka only have 2 wins to counter their 6 defeats and 2 draws.

Sofapaka's last game was the home draw against Leopards (2-2). Drawing 2-2 against Leopards after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 2-0. Their manager J. Baraza needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result.

Preceding that game was the away victory against KCB with the score of 1-0.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Sofapaka as they have only managed to score 6 times from 10 away games in the league. Sofapaka struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 15 goals conceded from these games.

Head 2 Head

This is the result when the teams met earlier this season; Sofapaka - Gor Mahia 1-2. Head-to-head totals (for the last ten meetings): Mahia won six games, two matches ended with a draw and Sofapaka has two wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: six / four
