Tusker vs Gor Mahia Prediction: Tusker should not be written off at home

At the Moi International Sports Centre, Tusker and Gor Mahia will continue their competition against one another in what is sure to be the most significant and intriguing game of the seventh week of the Kenyan Premier League. The score of their previous matchup ended in a goalless tie. Having said that, do you believe there will be a victor in this competition? 

Tusker - Tusker have to step up

Tusker won't want a repetition of their previous outcome here after suffering a loss in the Premier League to newly promoted Shabana in their most recent match. The score was 0-1 in favor of Shabana. Shabana's Vincent Nyabuto Socha scored the game's lone goal in the 70th minute to break the scoreless tie in a contest that included a significant amount of defensive play. The Tusker backline deserves a great deal of respect, as evidenced by their most recent results. The home team has only allowed three goals to be scored against them in their last six matches, while also scoring four goals themselves during that stretch on offense.

Gor Mahia - visiting side title defense chase is still open

Gor Mahia's most recent match was a victory over AFC Leopards by a score of 0-2 in the Kenyan Premier League, and they will bring that momentum into this match. Benson Omala finished the game with two goals, the first of which he scored in the 22nd minute of play and the second of which he scored in the 56th minute, which was the game-winning goal. A significantly low number of goals have been scored between Gor Mahia and their opponents throughout the course of five of the club's most recent six matches. During that time period, the total average number of goals scored per game came out to be 2.33, with the average number of goals scored by Gor Mahia coming in at 1.67. Gor Mahia have not yet been defeated in any of the season's six matches that they have played so far, as they have won three and drawn three of those matches.

Head-Head Statistics

Tusker have won two of their most recent five matches against Gor Mahia, while Gor Mahia have only won one. However, the other two matches both concluded without a goal being scored. Tusker scored five goals in those matches, while Gor Mahia only managed to score three goals.

Expert Betting Tips

Both teams have an equal opportunity to earn three points, which are very vital in this encounter. Despite the fact that Tusker has had a terrible start to the season so far, I anticipate that they will come into this encounter with a new mindset and level of preparation. In addition, Gor Mahia have not lost in their current streak, which will certainly serve as a positive impetus for them in this match. Although I think that a tie would be the best result in this situation, I anticipate that there will be a lot of defensive tenacity displayed. Therefore, a wager on few goals also.
