Football Kenya Federation Premier League (FKF-PL) reigning champions Gor Mahia could all but seal their record-extending 21st title when they face Muhoroni Youth on Sunday, 19 May, at St. Sebastian Park in Murang’a.Gor is just a point away from the title after Tusker edged Kenya Police 1-0 on Saturday.The result means that second-placed Tusker can collect a maximum of nine points from their remaining three matches, while K’Ogalo, currently with an eight-point cushion at the summit, need just one point to secure the title.##NAJAVA_MECA_8109571##Ahead of the match, Muhoroni Chairman Moses Adagala lamented Gor’s decision to move the game from the initial venue in Kisumu to Murang’a.Adagala stated that the arrangement could prove tough for his team as they lack the funds to cover match expenses, suggesting that his team might struggle to honour the crucial fixture in their quest for survival.However, failing to show up could be costly for the Got Alila-based club, as they are fighting relegation, and a walkover would see them docked three points.Muhoroni will need to be at their best to stop a side that has never tasted defeat against them in ten league games. Gor Mahia are in formidable form, having gone six matches without dropping points, in contrast to Muhoroni’s five-game winless streak.Sitting comfortably at the top with 64 points, eight ahead of Robert Matano’s Tusker, the green army will aim to avoid defeat and clinch the title with three matches remaining in the campaign.Firat, Austin Odhiambo bury hatchet as midfielder returns to national teamNzoia Sugar vs. Nairobi City StarsLeague drama and fireworks are expected at Mumias Complex when Nzoia Sugar, languishing at the bottom with a mere 18 points, faces Nairobi City Stars.It will be a decisive match for the Millers, as defeat to Nairobi City Stars will condemn them to the National Super League (NSL).Under the tutelage of Mike Mururi, Nzoia have struggled in recent games, extending their winless run to nine matches.
