Gor Mahia vs Posta Ranger Prediction & Betting Tips - Kenyan Premier League

Prediction published on 01/03/2024, 22:28  by Daniel Ngulu in Kenyan Premier League Predictions

Posta Rangers and Gor Mahia will seek to overcome their domestic cup elimination when they meet next in the Kenyan Premier League. This clash featuring the top two sides will be hosted by Gor Mahia at the Machakos County Stadium. While Gor Mahia are smarting from elimination from the FKF Cup by lowly Denmak FC, they have the chance to widen the gap at the top. They have so far garnered 47 points, giving them an eight-point lead. Though favorites to win the title, Gor Mahia haven't had it easy in recent weeks. They have one win in the last three matches. In their last outing against Nairobi City Stars, they posted a 1-0 win, ending a two-game winless run. Their biggest concern however remains the low scoring returns in the season. The champions haven't scored more than a goal in their last eight matches in all competitions. In the league, they’ve scored 26 times only in 22 matches, averaging just over a goal a game. Their league matches in total, have had an average of 1.6 goals per game.

Posta Rangers have the key to throw the league title race wide open here. They sit second, eight points behind Gor Mahia, and all in the race will be hoping they win this game. At 39 points, Rangers are just one point short of their tally last season. They are also sure to finish better than 12th, which they managed last season. It has so far been great for Rangers, with 11 wins coming into this game, a tally only bettered by their hosts. Their defensive numbers have also been good, only bettered by the team ahead of them. They are coming from a 1-0 loss to Posta Rangers in the FKF Cup and the Mailmen will be keen to recover. Before that, they were on a good run in the league, unbeaten in four, all with clean sheets, and three wins. However, in attack, they face the same struggle as Gor Mahia. Rangers haven't scored more than a goal in their last seven matches. In five of their last 10 league matches they actually failed to score.
