Gor Mahia vs Bandari Prediction: Hosts expected to take their chances

The Kenyatta Stadium is set to host the round 16 Kenyan Premier League match between Gor Mahia and Bandari. Both teams are entering this matchup on the back of identical 2-0 victories over their last opponents. Let's delve into the previews of this match and make a prediction.

Gor Mahia aims for a repeat of their recent success, having secured a 0-2 triumph over Talanta in the Premier League. In that match, second-half goals from Boniface Omondi and Austine Odhiambo secured all three points for Gor Mahia. The team's recent performances highlight a strong defensive performance, with only three goals conceded in their last six matches.

Bandari will enter the upcoming match on the back of a 2-0 victory in the Premier League, defeating Murang'a SEAL in their previous encounter. William Wadri and Umar Kasumba's goals proved sufficient for Bandari to secure all three points. In five of their last six clashes, a relatively low number of goals have been scored between Bandari and their opponents. The overall average number of goals per game during that period stands at a modest 1.83, with Bandari averaging 1.33 goals in these matches.

Gor Mahia appears to be the more determined side and is currently in peak form. While acknowledging Bandari's attractive and robust style of play, it's expected that they may find it challenging to score in this match. In what is anticipated to be a closely contested encounter, a victory for the hosts along with the likelihood of goals seems to be the most favorable outcome.
