Record Kenyan champions Gor Mahia will be seeking to make it four wins in a row when they face off against Bidco United in a crucial FKF Premier League match to be played at the Kenyatta Stadium in Machakos from 4pm on Sunday.
The defending champions have been in stellar form since Zedekiah 'Zico' Otieno took over the reins from Brazilian coach Leonardo Neiva who was shown the door after false start.
Zico as he is commonly referred to has been a revelation for K’Ogalo who have defeated Kakamega Homeboyz (2-0), Mara Sugar (2-0) and FC Talanta (3-2), wins that have lifted Gor back into title contention.
Gor are currently fourth on the log with 17 points, four points behind league leaders KCB who take on Bandari in Mombasa.
K’Ogalo who have never lost to Bidco will be banking on their history to inspire them to another win if their record of four wins and four draws in their eight meetings is anything to go by.
