Prediction published on 11/01/2024, 07:00  by Daniel Ngulu in Kenyan Premier League Predictions

Gor Mahia will continue with their title defence in the Kenyan Premier League with a home game against Kariobangi Sharks. These two sides are having contrasting runs in the league with Gor Mahia top and Sharks 13th in the standings. This is an encounter that Gor Mahia has dominated and will be keen to extend the same. Coming into this game, Gor Mahia beat early pacesetters Posta Rangers 1-0 to stretch their lead. With that win, Gor Mahia opened up a seven-point lead over second placed Nairobi City Stars. The gulf between them and Sharks is clearly depicted in the 19-point gap between them. Gor Mahia also carry into this game a five-match unbeaten run against Kariobangi Sharks. The win over Posta Rangers was Gor Mahia’s third in a row and they are also doing well defensively. In their last three meetings, they’ve kept straight clean sheets.

Kariobangi Sharks aren’t having a great campaign coming into this game. They have managed just four wins in their 17 matches this season, that’s six less than Gor Mahia’s tally. While they are unbeaten in their last three matches, Sharks have managed just one win in that run. That 3-0 win over Talanta is also their only victory in the last nine matches; they have lost five times in the last eight games. Sharks have also failed to score in four of their last nine matches, though in their last three they have two clean sheets. Conceding just once in the last three matches presents an improvement after having let in nine in the four preceding matches. The one goal conceded was in their most recent game, a 1-1 draw with Muranga Seal. In six away matches, Sharks have one win and four losses.
