Insights:
  • Wazito have not yet lost a game at home.
  • Gor Mahia have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Premier League game only four days ago. That game was also an away game, at Vihiga United. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Gor Mahia have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artifical turf is 5-2-3 (win-draw-loss) from ten matches.

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