Record Kenyan Premier League champions Gor Mahia FC will be out seeking to bounce back to their winning ways when they host an in-form Murang’a Seal in an encounter at the Moi International Sports Centre, Kasarani Stadium, on Wednesday, January 14, 2026, starting at 4:pm local time.

K’Ogalo will also be aiming to close the gap between them and league leaders, arch-rivals AFC Leopards. A win for Gor Mahia will see them tie on 30 points with Ingwe, who mauled Tusker FC 4-0 on Sunday, January 11, 2026.

Gor Mahia drop points

In their previous outing on Sunday, January 11, 2026, Gor Mahia were held to a barren draw by Shabana FC at Gusii Stadium, while Murang’a SEAL comfortably beat Mathare United 2-0 at Kasarani Annex on Saturday, January 10, 2026. Following the victory, SEAL took position 9 on the log with 21 points.

After enduring the 0-0 draw against Shabana, Gor Mahia head coach Charles Akonnor expressed satisfaction that his men picked up a point against a challenging opponent in an away fixture.

K’Ogalo failed to find the back of the net after scoring four against Kariobangi Sharks in their previous outing, while for the Glamour Boys, it was a sigh of relief after enduring a devastating 3-1 defeat at the hands of Nairobi United previously at the same venue.

Akonnor contended with draw

In his post-match remarks, the Ghanaian tactician said a draw at Gusii Stadium for him was something to be proud of, based on the circumstances that usually surround the particular fixture at Gusii Stadium.

The last time the same fixture was played at the venue in 2025, it saw fans of the opposite clash team, leading to injuries after a confrontation ensued. However, on matters of team performance, Akonnor praised his men for the vital point in a challenging environment, though he rued missed chances for the record champions.

”Both teams created more chances, but for us, we needed not to lose. It was a game that could have gone that way, a derby, a very difficult one and a challenging place to come. The second half was very good, and we are happy that we got good results,” Akonnor said.

On the other hand, defending champions Kenya Police Police FC will be out squaring against Mara Sugar at the Police Sacco starting at 2:00 pm local time.
