FKFPL Crunch Gor Mahia versus Shabana clash to be beamed live on TV
Gor Mahia will face Shabana in a high stakes FKFPL clash at the Kasarani Stadium at 4 PM with the game set to be broadcasted live on Azam TV.
Johnathan McKinstry, the head coach of Gor Mahia, is optimistic about his team's performance but is well aware that Shabana will come to the match with a fighting spirit.
"We're expecting them to come fighting back. The minimum people expect when you've had a bad result is to come out to play with pride and passion," said the Irishman.
Aside from the Gor Mahia showdown, AFC Leopards is also gearing up for a significant match as they host Kariobangi Sharks at the Ulinzi Sports Complex.
Leopards find themselves in a precarious position in the league, having collected only four points from eight games this season.
Their last victory against the Slum Boys dates back to January 15, 2022, and they are determined to reverse the trend. Kariobangi Sharks, on the other hand, come into this fixture with confidence, having recently beaten Kakamega Homeboyz and securing a 1-1 draw against Muhoroni Youth.
Tusker FC, another formidable team in the league, is set to host Ulinzi Stars in what promises to be a highly anticipated clash.
