Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Homeboyz & Gor Mahia face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Shield Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
It's no vacation for neither Homeboyz 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.
Homeboyz form and stats
With 2 Premier League wins, 5 draws and 4 defeats from their home games, Homeboyz are certainly not brimming with confidence.

A Premier League defeat was the result before that one, 1-3 away at Sofapaka.There will be little rest for Homeboyz after this match as they are travelling to Posta Rangers for a Premier League game in only three days.

Gor Mahia form and stats

The Mahia goalkeeper is collecting clean sheets like a laundry worker. It's been 279 league minutes without conceding a goal, and counting.
Gor Mahia won their last game, 5-0 versus Vihiga Bullets played at home. As mentioned above, Gor Mahia was the only team on the pitch versus Vihiga Bullets in their previous game, winning 5-0. This could be a tougher task.
Ahead of that match was the Premier League away draw versus KCB that ended 0-0.There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Mahia manager Harrison as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Sofapaka.
Gor Mahia have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 10 league away games 13 goals have been scored. It's not easy to score on Gor Mahia as they have only conceded 8 goals from these away games.
