Record Kenyan champions Gor Mahia will be seeking to make it four wins in a row when they face off against Bidco United in a crucial FKF Premier League match to be played at the Kenyatta Stadium in Machakos from 4pm on Sunday.

The defending champions have been in stellar form since Zedekiah 'Zico' Otieno took over the reins from Brazilian coach Leonardo Neiva who was shown the door after false start.

Zico as he is commonly referred to has been a revelation for K’Ogalo who have defeated Kakamega Homeboyz (2-0), Mara Sugar (2-0) and FC Talanta (3-2), wins that have lifted Gor back into title contention.

Gor are currently fourth on the log with 17 points, four points behind league leaders KCB who take on Bandari in Mombasa.

K’Ogalo who have never lost to Bidco will be banking on their history to inspire them to another win if their record of four wins and four draws in their eight meetings is anything to go by.

Bidco have been struggling in the opening ten rounds of the campaign, registering a paltry two wins. The Thika-based club is winless in the last three matches. 

The 4pm clash will be preceded by the encounter pitting the bottom-placed Posta Rangers against Kariobangi Sharks. 

Meanwhile, league leaders KCB will be hoping to return to winning ways and maintain their top spot when they take on Bandari at the Ukunda Showground. 

The Bankers hit the road to Mombasa seeking to end their two-game winless run.

Bandari, on the other hand, will hope to win the game and go on level points with the visiting team. They sit third with 19 points as KCB sit top with 22 points.

In Kisii, Shabana will host FC Talanta at the Gusii Stadium.
