Kenya’s reigning football champions, Gor Mahia, will be aiming to build on their recent resurgence when they host Bidco United at the Machakos Stadium on Sunday evening, with the match kicking off at 4:00 PM EAT.
K’Ogalo remains unbeaten at home in their last four matches, and their recent three-match unbeaten run will serve as a boost to continue their strong performances.
They will look to build on their 2-0 win over Kakamega Homeboyz, followed by a 2-0 away victory against Mara Sugar.

Recently, they triumphed 3-2 over Talanta FC, a performance that has propelled Zico’s side to fourth place with 17 points from nine matches, having secured five wins, two draws, and two losses.
At home, Gor Mahia has been dominant, securing a 4-0 victory over Mathare United, followed by a 0-0 draw with KCB. A 2-2 draw with Murang’a SEAL and their most recent 2-0 win over Kakamega Homeboyz have further solidified their standing.
On the other hand, Bidco United, under Antony Akhulia, has struggled this season. They will be desperate to break their three-match winless streak and are seeking their third win of the campaign.
After 11 matches, Bidco finds itself in the relegation zone, sitting in 16th place with 11 points from two wins, five draws, and four losses.
Their last victory came in early November, a 2-0 win away to Bandari FC. Since then, they have drawn 0-0 with Ulinzi Stars, lost 3-1 to Posta Rangers, and held KCB to a goalless draw.
In the last six encounters between these two teams, Gor Mahia has won three times, with Bidco yet to secure a victory against K’Ogalo. Three of the matches have ended in draws. Last season, the first leg ended in a 0-0 draw, but Gor Mahia triumphed 4-3 in a hard-fought second-leg encounter.
This promises to be an intriguing match, as both teams will be desperate to secure three vital points, which could significantly improve their positions in the Premier League standings.

Shabana, sitting 11th with 13 points from three wins, four draws, and four losses, will aim for three points against Jackline Juma’s Talanta, who are in 17th place, in the relegation zone with 10 points from two wins, four draws, and four losses.
