Struggling Western Stima will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Gor Mahia in the upcoming league round. It’s 13th vs 1st and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.

It's no vacation for neither Western Stima 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.

This stadium uses artificial turf, unlike Gor Mahia's home stadium. The visitors last nine games on artificial turf have ended in 8 wins, 1 draw and 0 losses.
