Gor Mahia vs Kariobangi Sharks Prediction: League leaders won’t drop points here

In this round of the Kenyan Premier League, match number 23 takes place at the Moi International Sports Centre and features Gor Mahia taking on Kariobangi Sharks. While the host team was forced to a draw by Sofapaka the previous weekend, the unbeaten streak of the visiting Kariobangi Sharks continued with a victory over Bidco United earlier this week.

Gor Mahia will enter this encounter with great hopes and confidence that they can secure a win here despite the fact that they have dropped points for the second game in a row in their previous two matches. Tusker is under increasing pressure, and if they are unable to win this match, things could turn out badly for them even though they are still in first place on the table. They have now won just two of their previous five league matches, played to a tie two other times, and their match against Kakamega Homeboyz ended in a loss.

The Kariobangi Sharks have won their last five matches in a row, and the only time they have lost in their most recent nine matches was a close encounter against Police FC that they lost 3-2. Kariobangi Sharks won four of their most recent five matches, drawing with Wazito and defeating KCB, Vihiga, and Equity Bank. They also tied with Bidco United. During those matches, Kariobangi Sharks scored ten goals while only allowing five to be scored against them.

We believe that this match will be significantly more difficult than the bookies anticipate it will be, and thus it will definitely be a case of "survival of the fittest." On the other hand, both teams should have chances to score based on their skills and how they played in their most recent games. Also, considering how important this game is and the fact that Gor Mahia plays at home, we think they need to win because they can't afford to drop to second place in the standings if Tusker wins their game.
