It is barely mid-season and awards have started trickling into Gor Mahia’s playing unit. Victor Abondo was named the winner of the inaugural Sports Journalist Association of Kenya (SJAK) footballer of the month award.
Better still is the talk of Dan Sserunkuma returning to the club with the management confirming that the deal is 90% done.
Clearly it has been a great week for K’Ogalo and there is no better way to cap it than picking three points against bottom placed Nakuru All Stars when they host them at Nyayo Stadium.
Still unbeaten, the league leaders will look to pad their lead at the summit but they have to be wary of Peter Okidi’s charges who handed them their first loss last season running out 2-0 winners at Afraha.

Gor Mahia | DWWWD |
Nakuru All Stars | LLLLLL |
However, it will certainly be an uphill task for the visitors who have conceded 26 goals so far as they come up against a team that has been firing from all cylinders with 21 goals to their credit.
Gor Mahia’s deadly attacking trio of Meddie Kagere, Michael Olunga and the league’s top scorer Victor Abondo will see this tie as a perfect opportunity to increase their goal tally to double digits.
Frank Nuttal will welcome back Collins Okoth and Michael Olunga to the fray while his opposite number Peter Okidi has a full squad to pick from.
The match will kickoff at 1545hrs EAT on Sunday.
