Football Kenya Federation (FKF) Premier League champions Gor Mahia will host arch-rivals AFC Leopards in the 97th Mashemeji derby this Monday at Raila Odinga Stadium.
Gor Mahia, eyeing a record-extending 22nd league title and third consecutive crown, enter the match third in the standings with 54 points. Their recent form has been mixed since a goalless draw against Ingwe earlier this season.
AFC Leopards, currently sixth with 46 points, face another challenging season. Their recent derby history is bleak, with only one win in the last six encounters against K’Ogalo, who completed a double over them last season.
As the two most successful clubs in Kenyan league history renew their rivalry, Gor Mahia will aim to continue their dominance, while AFC Leopards seek to upset the champions and ignite their campaign.
