What you need to know:

  • Gor Mahia remain third in the league standings with 43 points, while Leopards are fifth with 37 points. Kenya Police lead the league with 48 points from 25 matches.
  • With the reverse fixture just days away, both teams will be hoping to sharpen their attacking edge and break the deadlock in what promises to be another thrilling installment of the Mashemeji Derby.

AFC Leopards coach Fred Ambani and his Gor Mahia counterpart Sinisa Mihic lamented their teams’ lack of prolific forwards after a goalless draw in the first leg of the ‘Mashemeji’ Derby at Nyayo National Stadium yesterday. 

Leopards hosted the highly anticipated clash—the 96th meeting between the arch-rivals.
