Murang’a Seal FC
The hosts are handed a significant double boost ahead of the clash. Wingback Prince Musebe and Jackson Imbiakha have both returned to full fitness and featured as second-half substitutes during the 1-0 win over Kakamega Homeboyz last weekend, giving interim boss Dennis Odhiambo more depth.
Gor Mahia
Head coach Charles Akonnor faces a selection hurdle as Gor Mahia will be without the services of midfielder Enock Morrison, who is serving the second match of his suspension following a red card picked up against Kakamega Homeboyz in Mumias two weeks ago.
What was said before the match?
Dennis Odhiambo (Murang’a SEAL Coach)
Odhiambo believes the Seals are gradually rediscovering their attacking edge but admits defensive lapses remain a major concern heading into the final stretch of the campaign.
“We must now work on improving our defense, especially because we have now found our scoring form,” he noted.
Charles Akonnor (Gor Mahia)
The Ghanaian tactician says complacency is a word that does not feature in his vocabulary as they prepare for the final three fixtures of the season.
“We need to be focused. We need to have an idea of how we play every match. Until the end of the season, the last match, we cannot be complacent, saying that we’ve won the league. We need to believe in ourselves and continue to do very good work. By the end of the season, we’ll know. But we are in a very good position.”
Recent Form and H2H
- Gor Mahia: W-W-D-W-D (11 points from last 15 points)
- Murang’a SEAL: L-L-L-L-W (3 points from last 15 points)
