Key stats

Kenya Police, on the other hand, are also enjoying a strong campaign. The law enforcers have registered four wins and one draw in their last five outings, scoring 28 goals and conceding just 18 while keeping 16 clean sheets.
Recent meetings between the two sides suggest a balanced rivalry. In the last five head-to-head clashes, Gor Mahia have won once, Kenya Police have secured two victories, while two matches ended in draws.
Statistically, both teams have shown remarkable similarities this season. They average 12.9 shot attempts per match, highlighting their attacking intent. Gor Mahia, however, dominate possession-based metrics with an average of 343 pass attempts per game compared to Police’s 274.
K’Ogalo also hold a slight edge in chances created, averaging 7.1 per game against Police’s 6.7. Kenya Police, the defending champions, lead marginally in crosses attempted and also commit more fouls per match, showing their aggressive style of play.
Players to watch
The match will also feature a fascinating individual battle between Gor Mahia defender Paul Ochuoga and Kenya Police forward Eric Zakayo.
Ochuoga has been one of Gor Mahia’s standout performers this season, making 30 appearances, scoring once and providing five assists. The defender has also recorded 37 interceptions and attempted 102 crosses, the highest among Gor Mahia players in the league.
Zakayo has equally been influential for Kenya Police. The attacker has featured in 28 matches, scoring four goals and registering three assists. He has attempted 26 shots and created 24 chances, the highest for his side this season.
Another statistic likely to boost Gor Mahia’s confidence is their strong home form. The record Kenyan champions are unbeaten in their last nine home matches in the FKF League, winning seven of those games.
Kenya Police, however, arrive with momentum of their own, having lost just one of their last 12 league matches while winning half of those fixtures. A win for Gor Mahia will see them edge closer to retaining the title after painfully giving it away to Kenya Police FC last season.
