Gor Mahia will surrender the title to either Tusker or KCB for the first time in five seasons and will look to close the campaign on a high with a win over Nzoia Sugar at the Ruaraka Grounds in a 3 PM kickoff. Both sides will be playing for pride with nothing to fight for as K’Ogalo are out of league contention and the Millers are marked safe for relegation after flirting with the drop for the better part of the season.👊|Matchday@OfficialGMFC vs @nzoiasugarfc2 in Ruaraka from 3pm #FKFPL pic.twitter.com/qL6KrXf73t— FKF Premier League (@Officialfkfpl) August 22, 2021 Speaking to Mozzart Sport, Gor Mahia custodian Gad Mathews revealed that they are looking to build momentum ahead of the CAF Confederation Cup qualifiers and lauded new head coach Mark Harrison. “We want to finish in style to make sure we end the season in a better position, a win will give us encouragement heading into continental matches,”“Being that the ground (Ruaraka) has not been favourable, we have focused on our defensive shape and also scoring. The coach has really encouraged the squad and given us motivation, the approach towards games,” said Mathews.K’Ogalo might be looking to finish the season ahead of AFC Leopards to avoid their arch-rivals pipping them on the log for the first time in over a decade.Nzoia Sugar goalkeeper Humphrey Katasi admitted that the side will play for pride and hand the young turks some experience ahead of next season.
