AFC Leopards new coach Rwandese Andre Casa Mbungo, who will be in charge of his first ever Mashemeji Derby, says his team desperately needs the three points against Gor Mahia.
This will be the 85th league meeting between the two sides. Gor Mahia has won 27 times, AFC 27 too while 31 previous matches have ended in draws.
After a rather shaky start to the season, Gor Mahia seems to have finally found its footing and are currently fourth on the log with 19 points from 10 matches while AFC Leopards continue to struggle and are fifteenth on the log with 10 points from 11 matches.
“I have been with AFC Leopards for a week now and I can confidently say its a good team. We haven’t done well so far this season but with time everything will be good,” Casa Mbugo said,
“We have trained well for the match and really need the three points. We will fight for a win and I urge fans to turn out in large numbers at Kasarani on Saturday.” He added.
