Gor Mahia FC captain Philemon Otieno is undeterred by Tusker FC’s recent fine form and is confident that they have what it takes to maintain their unbeaten run in the FKF Premier League when the two teams meet on Saturday in Machakos.Eighteen games into the new season, the record league champions’ run remains unblemished, and they are on course to replicate the record set by their 2015 counterparts who went through the entire season without dropping maximum points in any of the league games played that campaign.##NAJAVA_MECA_7805753##On Saturday, Robert Matano will lead his troops against K’Ogalo in a match that both teams are keen on winning. A victory for Gor will widen the gap at the top, making it a 12-point difference between them and Tusker. Conversely, a win for the Brewers will narrow the gap to just six points, putting them in close pursuit of the league leaders. The Brewers are brimming with confidence as well, having managed to shake off early-season struggles. They are currently on a five-match winning streak, a run they are eager to preserve against the bullish K’Ogalo in Machakos.Gor captain Otieno, however, remains unfazed by their opponents’ fine form and believes they have what it takes to stop the Brewers on Saturday. FKFPL: We are firmly in the title race, Matano roars”We are taking one game at a time. We have been preparing well in recent weeks, and I believe we have what it takes to secure maximum points against them because we have the right quality of players to deliver a good result and keep our title chances alive.” He said in an interview with Citizen TV.He does acknowledge that they have to be at their best to defeat the Brewers, admitting that Tusker has proven to be their most formidable challengers in recent years.”It is true they are our greatest rivals in recent times, and that has not changed. We know how good they are, and we have to be perfect in every department come match day, and I know we will be ready for that,” he added.Baraza handed improved contract as Jerim is promoted to Assistant Coach
