Following KCB’s 3-2 victory over Shabana on Friday to kickoff Matchweek 24, weekend action will continue on Saturday 9 March afternoon with three games on the cards in two venues.The fixtures will be headlined by league leaders Gor Mahia, who in addition to building on their two match winning streak – including last week’s 4-0 thrashing of Posta Rangers – will be seeking to further create chasm between them and the rest of the chasing pack.Gor currently are 10 points ahead of second-placed Tusker FC and though holding a historical head-to-head advantage over Saturday rivals Bandari; 10 games unbeaten and you’ll have to go back to December 2018 to find the dockers last win over K’Ogalo, head coach Johnathan McKinstry has his eyes set on his team’s perfect execution.##NAJAVA_MECA_7943602##“We are very well prepared,” McKinstry said. “Mbaraki is a very tough venue, they have a good crowd and, a bobbly pitch that can cause us a bit of problems, and just as we saw with Posta Rangers last week, they have nothing to lose.“They’ll throw everything at us because they need the three points but we are also relaxed and want to build on our ten-point cushion and recent performances. Make no doubt about it, we are under no illusion that it will be an easy game. We just want to maintain our good record.”Last December’s tie was settled by a late Austin Odhiambo goal, and he will be keen to add more goals to his tally, for a side that will miss the services of John Macharia, Patrick Kaddu, and Emery Bayisenge.Bryson Wangai: The rising star ascending through Gor Mahia ranksNairobi City Stars vs Bidco UnitedAt Kenyatta Stadium, Machakos in the afternoon’s early kickoff, Nicholas Muyoti’s City Stars will welcome 10th-placed Bidco United who are winless in their last three in the Premier League.City Stars, despite having a good start to the season, have now dropped to sixth, but a win could see them jump up to second.As for Bidco, another mid-table finish looks to be in the offing.City Stars will make three changes to their squad which settled for a barren draw with Kariobangi Sharks with keeper Byron Owino, teenage defender Rogers Obusu Wasega, and forward Brian Mose being reinstated to the traveling squad.In the late game still, at Kenyatta Stadium, 14th-placed Sofapaka will welcome Murang’a Seal in 11th position, looking to finally convert their three back-to-back draws to a win.Onyango dreams big following breakthrough seasonTo their credit however, they are unbeaten in the last five, results that have seen them rise above the relegation zone and five points clear.FKF PREMIER LEAGUE MATCHWEEK 24FridayKCB – Shabana 3-2 (2-0)/Otanga (pen) 13, 60, Nyakwaka 45+6 – Magare 64, Shikhalo (o.g) 90/Saturday1500: (2.55) Bandari (2.90) Gor Mahia (2.90)1600: (2.60) Sofapaka (2.90) Murang’a Seal (2.85)1300: Nairobi City Stars vs Bidco UnitedSunday1300: Posta Rangers vs Kariobangi Sharks1500: Kakamega Homeboyz vs Ulinzi Stars1500: Nzoia Sugar vs FC Talanta1500: Tusker vs AFC Leopards1600: Kenya Police vs Muhoroni Youth
