Rebels!That is what both Gor Mahia and Ulinzi Stars had been baptized at the start of the campaign for failing to sign an endorsement for broadcasting rights.As a result of the hullabaloo that surrounded the whole issue, and Gor’s participation in continental football, the two teams kicked off the league campaign by playing their opening game in Round 3, when other teams were playing their third match.Mathare and Zoo FC were caught up in the thick of things as well. Gor and Ulinzi managed to pull out of it, Mathare did not and currently lie at the bottom of the table. Zoo were suspended later on other grounds.The situation weathered down slowly, a deal ‘contentiously’ signed, and the teams set to start their campaign, against each other at Nyayo Stadium.Jules Ulimwengu announced himself with a first-touch goal to give K’Ogalo all three points as they won 1-0, but he has since failed to produce that magic as frequently in the league.⏭ Next assignment 😎✅ Ulinzi Stars FC vs Gor Mahia FC🏟 A.S.K Grounds l Nakuru⏰ 1515 EAT🗓 Mon 26th July#GBUS #WeSoldierOn pic.twitter.com/rOBfvFFjRY— Ulinzi Stars FC (@UlinziStarsFC) July 24, 2021 The reigning champions will be hoping to put an end to their six-game winless streak when they visit Ulinzi Stars at A.S.K Grounds, Nakuru later today in their FKFPL Round 28 clash.Gor Mahia’s coach Sammy Pamzo Omollo, though on an interim basis, will be leading his charges for the second time in charge and will be hoping that he can turn the tide despite all that is happening at the club.Both teams started their season on the wrong foot, with Gor Mahia going for a three-game losing streak in the league after their opening game but they managed to revert to positive results faster than the Soldiers, until now.Ulinzi Stars suffered a tragic 2-1 loss in the hands of KCB at Thika Stadium in their last outing and will be hoping to rectify that result at home, and Benjamin Nyangweso will be hoping that the referee in charge of this game will get his calls right.Gor Mahia have been the dominant side in the last 10 encounters in this clash, winning six times, drawing thrice and Ulinzi bagging maximum points only once in the ten encounters.Meddie Kagere scored the only goal as Gor Mahia beat Ulinzi Stars to be crowned KPL champs for the 16th time👏👏 #KPL #Kogallo #JazaStadi pic.twitter.com/1foPsGxXcj— Jaza Stadi (@jaza_stadi) October 21, 2017 K’Ogalo’s last league win came more than a month ago when they grabbed a 1-0 win over Sofapaka at home. They have lost thrice and drawn in as many matches since that win.Since then, they have won only once, and they did so after 90 minutes in the post-match penalties against AFC Leopards in the FKF CupResults from Sunday FKFPL games saw Gor drop from fifth to 8th on the log and a loss would even see them go into round 29 at position 9 if Nairobi City Stars beat Bidco United.Ulinzi Stars have spent most of their time recently in the bottom half while Gor have been in the top half, sometimes even sparking debate on a 20th title but that seems to have gone with the wind now.But, will Gor Mahia bring their A-game against Ulinzi Stars and put an end to their tepid performance?
