Venue: Moi International Sports Centre

Leopards will hope to utilise their home advantage to help bridge the gap to today’s opponents. The home side are currently 27 points behind Gor Mahia.

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.

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Leopards and Gor Mahia.

This is a local derby, usually meaning added tension and importance.
