You are free to come and enjoy the game in a secure environment. Fans buying tickets are advised to use designated gates and take up designated places to avoid unnecessary alterations,” the record champions added.

“I urge all fans to uphold peace and sportsmanship. Please disregard any negative messages, visuals or rumours intended to disrupt the harmony between our clubs. At Gor Mahia, we stand firmly for peace and the good image of Kenyan football,” the statement concluded.

The Glamour Boys, who recently parted ways with coach Peter Okidi, head into the clash seeking to bounce back after recent losses against AFC Leopards and Kariobangi Sharks.
Head-to-head
They, however, face a tough ask with a head-to-head record against Gor Mahia putting them at a paltry 4 wins against Gor in 41 matches, a record that stretches back to 1985.
Gor has dominated the meeting between them with 25 victories and only 12 draws in the period.
On the flipside, Gor Mahia has few injury worries to contend with, with the absence of a key defender ranking high.
