A home win is expected from this fixture if the league table is anything to judge by. The Gor Mahia fans are optimistic that the difference between 1st and Nzoia United's 15th place in the table will show on the pitch.
These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Premier League. Thankfully the previous game, versus Sofapaka, was also a home game here at Kenyatta Stadium. The away team is better rested.
