Wounded Gor Look to Bounce Back Against Zoo Kericho

Gor Mahia, KPL

KPL holders Gor Mahia will be looking to return to winning ways when they host Zoo Kericho in their second league match on Mashujaa Day.

The match which was initially slated for Machakos stadium has been moved to Kasarani Stadium and the kickoff pushed to 4.00p.m

Gor will be looking for their first win in three matches, during a period in which they have scored only one goal in more than 270 minutes of football.

They were underwhelming in their match against Bandari over the weekend where they lost 2-1

As much as Gor has had a poor start, Zoo aren’t doing well either.

At the weekend, in their season opener, they fell 0-2 in the hands of Nzoia Sugar at home at the Green Stadium, Kericho and when they visit the capital, they’ll hope to go toe-for-toe with the champions.

For Gor probably, the confirmation of Hassan Oktay as the club’s new head coach on a two-year deal taking over from Briton Dylan Kerr who resigned last month should be a motivation.

After the first round of the KPL matches, Zoo sit in the danger zone at position 16 with no point , while Gor, also with no point, are placed three places above them by virtue of the goal they scored against the dockers.

K’Ogalo having raised the bar so high last term, will count on the predatory skills of lead striker Jacques Tuyisenge and Nicholas Kipkirui who will be facing his former side for the first time since he swapped the yellow jersey for the famed green shirt of K’Ogalo.

After the match, Gor will switch their attention to the CAF Champions League where an acid test against Nigeria’s Lobi Stars awaits.
