The managers are both dreading and looking forward to this decisive game in the upper regions of the Premier League league table.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
Homeboyz form and stats
The home supporters can't complain about results here at Bukhungu Stadium as Homeboyz have scored 14 goals to get 16 points from 7 games. The overall stats in the Premier League are 5-1-1 (wins-draws-losses). Nine out of nine points from the last three home games for Homeboyz, and the home supporters are ready to scream their lungs out to keep the winning streak alive.
The Homeboyz supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host Kisumu All Stars in Premier League and win 4-0. Preceding that game was the away draw at Ulinzi Stars that finished 2-2.
As mentioned above, Homeboyz "killed" Kisumu All Stars in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.
Homeboyz can score goals in their home matches. After 7 league matches they have found the net 14 times. From these home matches, Homeboyz have conceded only 5 goals.
Gor Mahia form and stats
Gor Mahia, who have the the best goal difference (+19) in Premier League, have been very strong on the road so far with a massive 16 points collected from 6 Premier League games. 5 wins, 1 draw and 0 defeats is the record so far.
Gor Mahia play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 1-0 victory visiting Wazito (placed 13th). Before that, Gor Mahia travelled to Posta Rangers and returned home with a draw after the game finished 1-1.
The visitors will be packing their bags again in only three days as another away game awaits: The Premier League trip to Chemelil.
The travelling fans enjoy Gor Mahia's attacking play in away games, having scored 10 goals in 6 league matches away. Gor Mahia's manager H. Oktay has created a great defensive setup working very nicely in away games with only 1 conceded goal. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
