Gor Mahia will seek to bounce back from their first defeat of the season, when they host Ulinzi Stars in the Kenyan Premier League. These two are 10 places apart, Ulinzi Stars in 11th spot while Gor Mahia lead the standings. Gor Mahia, the reigning champions, are coming from a 3-1 loss to Police FC. That result brought to a halt their season’s unbeaten run. Favorable results elsewhere, however, mean they are still up with an eight-point gap. As was the case in most of their recent games, Gor Mahia scored first against Police. A second half collapse would however see them concede three times for the first time this season. That defeat also ended a run of five straight clean sheets that Gor Mahia had set. With seven wins in 20 matches, Gor Mahia will feel capable of bouncing back here.

Ulinzi Stars, unlike Gor Mahia, had a winning outing in their last game. They beat FC Talanta 1-0 at home for their second straight win. That was also their third straight clean sheet, and the Soldiers seem to have stabilized after an unconvincing run. This will however be a bigger test than their last three matches, and Ulinzi Stars will want to show they have what it takes. Anthony Kimani’s side has had an inconsistent season and this game finds them just on 24 points from a possible 60. Matches against Gor Mahia haven't also been great for Ulinzi Stars and they’ll hope for a break here. The 1-0 loss at home in the first leg marked five games without defeating Gor Mahia; they’ve lost three of the five. Ulinzi Stars have scored just twice in the last five matches, highlighting their shortcomings in attack.
