Here's another appealing match in the Premier League. Gor Mahia is in the 5th position from playing four fixtures. They greet KCB who are placed 3rd from seven matches.

Insights:
  • KCB have the most points (12) away in Premier League

11-10-8 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for KCB when playing away games on grass, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has artifical turf). Their goal statistics from those 29 matches are 35-26 (scored/conceded).

These teams are so close in distance that this match is special, a derby with local pride the main prize.

This should be an intriguing fixture with lots of spark and energy as both sides are well rested since they last played a game. Let's start!

Perfect Premier League season at home so far for Gor Mahia 2 wins from 2 appearances.

Before that, Mahia played out a draw 1-1 when visiting Kariobangi Sharks.

There will be little rest for Gor Mahia after this match as they are travelling to Ulinzi Stars for a Premier League game in only four days.

KCB form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team, who have the most points (12) away in Premier League, on their Premier League travels is 4 wins, 0 draws and 0 defeats.

KCB might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Tusker proved too strong as KCB slumped to a 1-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Nairobi City Stadium.

Preceding that game was the away victory against Bidco United with the score of 2-1.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the KCB manager as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Kariobangi Sharks.

KCB are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 6 times in 4 away games so far. It's not easy to score on KCB as they have only conceded 2 goals from these away games.

Head 2 Head

As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's five Mahia victories, three draws and two KCB wins. Over/under statistics; five of these games ended with three goals or more, five matches with two goals or less.
