  • Gor Mahia is in the best form (5-1-0) in Premier League

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.

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

It's no vacation for neither Leopards nor Gor Mahia as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
