Both teams are enjoying a good season so far and games like this could be decisive. Here's the preview for Gor Mahia - Leopards!
The Nairoby derby, also known as the Mashemeji derby and the Ingo-Dala derby is the oldest rivalry in Kenyan football. Both teams see each other as main rivals and have done so since their first meeting in 1968. The rivalry is partly tribal and this adds to the intensity when these teams meet.
The hosts Gor Mahia saw competitive action as recent as four days ago, playing in the Premier League. Thankfully the previous game, versus Mathare United, was also a home game here at Moi International Sports Centre. The away team is better rested.
These teams are so close in distance that this match is special, a derby with local pride the main prize.
