Gor Mahia will look to bounce back from their recent setback when they face an in-form Sofapaka at Kenyatta Stadium, Machakos, on Wednesday.
The reigning FKF Premier League champions endured a frustrating return to league action after a 2-1 loss to Tusker. Despite Austin Odhiambo’s sublime freekick, the 21-time record champions were undone by Tusker’s talisman, Ryan Ogam, whose brace included a dramatic stoppage-time winner.
The defeat left Gor Mahia in fourth place with 24 points from 15 matches, nine points behind league leaders Tusker, who opened a three-point gap at the summit ahead of second-placed KCB.

Under the guidance of coach Zedekiah ‘Zico’ Otieno, K’Ogalo will be desperate to capitalize on their games in hand as they aim to close the gap at the top.
A win against Sofapaka, currently fifth on the table and level on points with K’Ogalo, would provide a timely boost to their title defense ambitions.
Standing in Gor Mahia’s path is a resurgent Sofapaka side, riding high on a six-match unbeaten run. Their last defeat dates back to November 28, 2024, when they suffered a narrow 1-0 loss to Murang’a Seal.

Gameweek 15 of the 2024/2025 FKF Premier League was unforgettable for many reasons. Here are five things we learnt about Kenya’s top flight league action last weekend.
With seven wins and a draw in their past eight matches, a victory over Bandari could propel them to the top of the league standings on goal difference, level on points with Tusker.
Bandari, on the other hand, will be aiming to spoil Police FC’s party and end their six-match winless streak.
Their recent 1-1 draw with Shabana extended their struggles, but a positive result against the in-form Police side could reignite their campaign.
Withthe title race heating up and every point crucial, both matches promise high-stakes action at Kenyatta Stadium.
