Gor Mahia vs AFC Leopards Prediction: A competitive encounter is expected

Nyayo National Stadium will be the venue for this game-week 27 match between Gor Mahia and AFC Leopards in the Kenyan Premier League. In their last meeting, Gor Mahia pulled off a 0-2 win on the road. How will this one end?

Gor Mahia are off a commanding 1-3 win over Nzoia Sugar, and coming here, they will look to keep things rolling. In that game, Gor Mahia had to come from behind to take all three points, with Shariff Musa leveling the scores in the 43rd minute of the match before second-half goals from Bryson Wangai and Benson Omala cemented the win. Off to this game, Gor Mahia are seated top of the league standings with 54 points. The hosts have scored 33 goals this season from 26 games while conceding 12 in the same span.

AFC Leopards are coming off a win over Posta Rangers, a 0-1 league win. In that game, Ken Owino's 40th-minute own goal was all AFC Leopards needed to take all three points. In the meantime, AFC Leopards have gone three matches into this match without a loss. In that run, AFC Leopards drew with Sofapaka 1-1 while they defeated Shabana. So far this season, AFC Leopards have accumulated 38 points from 26 matches, positioning them 8th in the league's logs.

The last meetings between these sides have ended with less than three goals, six of their previous seven. However, while the visiting team has been strong defensively in this game, the host's offence can not be trusted either. However, Gor Mahia have always been the better team in this fixture, and we can expect them to win in what should be a low-scoring encounter.
