Defending champions Gor Mahia will be aiming to regain consistency when they host Posta Rangers in a crucial FKF Premier League match on Saturday at Dandora Stadium.

K'Ogalo have struggled to maintain their usual dominance this season, currently sitting third on the log with 28 points, eight behind joint leaders Kenya Police and Tusker.

In their last 10 matches, Gor have secured only four wins, with three draws and three losses, highlighting their inconsistency. Their failure to string together three consecutive victories has significantly hampered their title defense.

With Kenya Police and Tusker both having played one game more, Gor Mahia must seize the opportunity to close the gap and reignite their title challenge.

Posta Rangers, their opponents, are fighting to avoid relegation, currently placed 17th with just 17 points. A loss could deepen their woes, making this a must-win for both sides.

Kenya Police and Tusker will both be in action on tomorrow. Police, buoyed by their solid defensive record-conceding just nine goals this season-will face Sofapaka at Kenyatta Stadium in Machakos. Sofapaka, who sit eighth with 24 points, will be looking to pull off an upset.

Meanwhile, Tusker take on fourth-placed KCB in what promises to be a fiery encounter. KCB, with 27 points, could leapfrog Gor Mahia with a win, while Tusker will be keen to maintain their position at the top.

Nairobi City Stars and AFC Leopards will face off in another tense fixture.

Shabana, currently fifth, host Kariobangi Sharks in Kisii, while Murang'a SEAL welcome Bandari. In Mumias, Kakamega Homeboyz will face Mara Sugar.
