- Bidco United vs Gor Mahia will be played on Saturday, January 24, at the Kasarani Stadium.
- The Round 18 fixture will kick off at 4:00 PM.
Record SportPesa League champions Gor Mahia will be out to settle old scores when they take on Bidco United in what promises to be a keenly contested league encounter.
Over the years, Bidco United have emerged as an awkward opponent for K’Ogalo, often frustrating the Green Army and denying them vital points, a record Gor Mahia will be desperate to overturn this time around.
Gor Mahia head into the fixture full of confidence following an emphatic 3-0 victory over Mara Sugar in their previous outing.

Bidco United vs Gor Mahia preview
That result underlined their strong form in recent weeks, with the champions posting three wins and one draw in their last four SportPesa League matches.
The run has reinforced their credentials as genuine title contenders once again, as they continue to show both defensive solidity and attacking sharpness.
Currently, K’Ogalo sit at the summit of the SportPesa League table with 33 points, level with arch-rivals AFC Leopards but ahead on goal difference.
Gor Mahia have scored 25 goals and conceded just 11, while keeping an impressive nine clean sheets so far this season. Those numbers reflect a well-balanced side that has found consistency at a crucial stage of the campaign.
Bidco United, on the other hand, come into the match seeking a response after a narrow 2-1 defeat away to Murang’a SEAL.
The Anthony Akhulia-coached side is placed 15th on the league standings with 15 points.

Despite their struggles, Bidco have shown resilience defensively, conceding 15 goals and keeping seven clean sheets, although their attack has been less productive, with just nine goals scored this season.
Interestingly, the recent head-to-head record slightly favours Bidco United. The Thika-based side have won two of the last five meetings between the two teams, including a 1-0 victory in the first leg earlier this season.
Two of those encounters ended in draws, with Gor Mahia managing just one win, a statistic that adds extra motivation for the champions as they look to even the score.
Gor Mahia defender Mike Kibwage remains upbeat ahead of the clash, stressing the team’s desire to correct past mistakes.
“The momentum currently is high, and being that it’s the second half of the season we want to start on a high and to ensure any team that we dropped points against we get now maximum points against them,” said Kibwage.
The match is scheduled to kick off at 4:00 PM at Kasarani Stadium.
Fans who cannot make it to the venue can catch the action live on Azam Sports HD 3.
Supporters attending the match will pay KES 200 for regular tickets and KES 500 for VIP access, as Gor Mahia chase revenge and Bidco United look to once again prove they are no pushovers against the league leaders.
