Sofapaka plot Gor’s downfall
What you need to know:
- The domestic cup holders play guests to K’Ogalo on Sunday afternoon at the Nairobi City Stadium in what is easily the biggest match of the weekend judging by the calibre of players featuring for both teams.
- K’Ogalo have on their side the reliable Meddie Kagere, Michael Olunga and Ali Abondo, all who have proven to be of top quality and who have amongst them 13 goals for K’Ogalo so far.
- But while Batoto ba Mungu have already lost one match this season, the defending champions are riding on a six match unbeaten run, and this gives coach Frank Nuttall great confidence going into the match.
Sofapaka captain John Baraza says his team has the wherewithal to end Gor Mahia’s unbeaten run, and that they are focused on clinching all three points from the Sunday clash.
“We are very well prepared for the match because we know that they (Gor) are a string side and they are on a very good run so far. We shall carry a winning mentality into the match and hope for good results,” he told Saturday Nation Sport on Friday.

“We are enjoying quite a good start to the season, and the players are well motivated. I know that we will come up against very strong opponents, but we also have a strong team and I believe we shall secure a good result,” he said.
On the same day, limping Tusker FC will face Western Stima at the Moi Stadium in Kisumu eager to have a turnaround of fortunes after they lost -0 to Bandari FC in their midweek encounter. The brewers have struggled this season where they have won only two of their seven matches, but pressure is mounting on Coach Francis Kimanzi.
