Jonathan McKinstry's men top of the table with 63 points while Patrick Aussems’ troops are placed ninth with 42 points.

Kenyan football legend Peter Dawo has made his prediction for the second Mashemeji derby pitting Gor Mahia and AFC Leopards.

Gor Mahia are scheduled to host rivals AFC Leopards at the Nyayo National Stadium for the mouthwatering clash on Sunday and according to Dawo, top of the table Gor, who come into the match in good form are hot favourites to win.

“AFC Leopards for now don't have pressure because they are out of the title race and for Gor Mahia, they are a bit under pressure but I trust K’Ogalo to come out 2-0 winners,” he said.

Apart from discussing the Mashemeji derby, Dawo has also shared his experience of playing in the biggest game of the Football Kenya Federation Premier League calendar.

“One of the biggest problems with the derby is fear and nerves. Whoever gets into the free mood first will win in a derby. The longer you take to try and control the game, then, you are in trouble. Gor Mahia vs AFC Leopards was always tense,” added Dawo.

Gor Mahia are coming into the match from a goalless draw against Wazito FC in their last outing.

Leopards, on their side, beat Nzoia Sugar 1-0 in their last match but are out of contention for the league title.
