Gor Mahia vs Bidco United
This Saturday, October 28, Gor Mahia is gearing up to take on Bidco United in a pivotal Football Kenya Federation Premier League clash.
Gor Mahia, still unbeaten, is currently second in the league with 15 points, just one shy of Posta Rangers. Meanwhile, United holds the seventh spot, having secured a point in their recent matchup against Murang'a Seal.
Match Preview
In their six top-flight encounters, Gor Mahia has maintained an undefeated streak against United. As the reigning Premier League champions, they aim to extend this record, not just for the three points but to surpass Posta Rangers in the standings.
Gor Mahia is showing strength across the board. Goalkeeper Kevin Omondi boasts three clean sheets and has only let in four goals in previous matches. Striker Benson Omala, with seven goals to his name, leads the scoring chart and is a strong candidate to find the net in the upcoming battle at Kasarani.
Gor Mahia has tallied a total of 11 goals this season. However, they will face a formidable opponent in United’s defence, which has conceded just five goals. Their defensive resilience will be crucial in thwarting Gor Mahia's attack.
Gor Mahia's recent 1-0 victory over Tusker adds to their momentum, despite some contending that Omala's sole goal came from an offside position.
Team Updates
Goalkeeper Gad Mathews is on the cusp of making his return for Gor Mahia football club after a period of injury-related absence, as are John Macharia and Patrick Kaddu. Their availability provides Head Coach Johnathan McKinstry with additional tactical options.
That said, McKinstry might opt for Joshua Onyango in the central defence, replacing Emery Bayisenge who was subbed off during the game against the Brewers.
Probable Line-ups
Gor Mahia’s expected starting XI includes Kevin Omondi, Rooney Onyango, Geoffrey Ochieng, Joshua Onyango, Kennedy Onyango, Juma Simiyu, Rogers Mugisha, Lawrence Juma, Austin Odhiambo, Benson Omala, and Patrick Sibomana.
Bidco United’s likely lineup features John Otieno, Eugene Ikutwa, Thomas Wainaina, Daniel Omondi, Francis Oduor, Michael Omondi, Eric Michubu, Martin Mbugua, Samuel Ndung'u, Chris Opondo, and Shariff Musa.
