The record FKF Premier League champions Gor Mahia are poised for a crucial tie against Bandari as the title race takes shape.
FKF Premier League defending champions Gor Mahia are preparing for a crucial showdown against Bandari United on Saturday at Dandora Stadium as they intensify their push for a record-extending 22nd league title.
Currently in third place with 39 points, K’Ogalo find themselves in a heated title race against league leaders Tusker FC (44 points) and second-placed Kenya Police (41 points).
With just five points separating them from the summit, Gor Mahia will be desperate to secure maximum points against Bandari to keep their championship ambitions alive.
The team has experienced a remarkable resurgence under the leadership of Croatian tactician Sinisa Mihic, who remains unbeaten since taking charge.
As the season enters its decisive phase, Mihic has emphasized the need for further improvements, particularly in attacking movements and overall team dynamics.
Mihic’s tenure has injected renewed energy and tactical discipline into the squad, making Gor Mahia a formidable force once again.
Reflecting on their league performance so far, the Croatian coach has outlined areas his side needs to refine to sustain their title push.
“I know what we need to improve. To be better, to be more proactive. We need to move deeper behind the defenders, but for that, you need the right profile of players,” Mihic remarked following their dominant display against Kariobangi Sharks last Wednesday.
“You cannot ask a player who is more comfortable in midfield to make deep runs when it’s not their natural game. Football is about deep running. You cannot always play in a small space and expect to break through ten defenders it’s not futsal,” he added.
During that match Mihic’s charges came out 3-1 winners with goals from Alpha Onyango and a brace from Austine Odhiambo.
Gor Mahia’s recent performances have reinforced their credentials as serious title contenders.
Following their convincing league victory, they carried their momentum into the FKF Cup, where they thrashed their opponents 5-0 at Dandora Stadium on Sunday.
Such commanding displays highlight their attacking prowess and defensive solidity, qualities that will be crucial as they chase down their rivals at the top of the table.
Saturday’s fixture against Bandari will be another stern test, but with their current form and Mihic’s tactical vision, Gor Mahia remain well-positioned to stake their claim for yet another FKF Premier League crown.
The battle for supremacy is far from over, and with the champions determined to reclaim the top spot, the title race promises to go down to the wire.
