Ahead of the match, Police FC Head Coach Dusan Stojanovic maintained that they will take the fixture with all the seriousness like any other.
“For us, it’s about going into every match with the same approach, same focus, and to try and get the three points. I know it’s a big fixture for our fans, and we have to deliver,” he said.
On his part, Kogalo’s assistant coach Kofi Bisu Mensah emphasized the club’s need to win consecutive games, saying;
“For us as the technical bench and the players, we were disappointed to draw the last game after winning four matches.
We have reached a certain point where we have set the bar for ourselves not just for the results but also the performance. We have another chance to respond, and it’s a must-win game for us. I’m not underrating Police, but I don’t think they have better players than us.”
Gor recorded four straight wins before the 1-1 draw with Ulinzi Stars at Kasarani last Sunday. On the other hand, Edward Omondi haunted his former team Sofapaka to hand Police their second win of the season in the midweek clash.
The two teams have met eight times in the top flight: Police have won three times, there have been three draws, and two wins for Gor Mahia, both coming in 2023.
