Days after seeing their unbeaten, commanding start to the league season halted, the spotlight will undoubtedly be on Gor Mahia this Saturday as they seek to not only bounce back from a disappointing loss against Nairobi City Stars, but also to quiet the noise in the background.Moments after their unprecedented 2-1 loss on Monday, word quickly spread about a bunch of Gor Mahia players engaging in “unprofessional activities” outside their designated mandates.Gor Mahia fans force captain to apologise after first defeat of season [VIDEO]The word – which has since taken casualties across Mathare United and AFC Leopards – probably struck earlier at Gor when coach Leo Martins Neiva dropped a quartet prior to Monday’s game, but the wait for heavier sanctions continues.AFC Leopards suspends three senior players ahead of league clash with Ulinzi StarsPoor Murang’a Seal will therefore provide the backdrop of such talking points when they take on the wounded, perturbed Green Army at Kenyatta Stadium, Machakos from 1600 EAT.Dear Gor Mahia,Hakuna kupostpone game!Yours,Murang’a SEAL #MSealNaSportPesa || #ComeOmYouSeals pic.twitter.com/149C7hW5jl— Murang’a Seal (@murangaseal) October 29, 2024 Themselves off a win against AFC Leopards, Seal could do with a “big fish” double-whammy, but all eyes, maybe sadly, will be on how Neiva and K’Ogalo respond to their first speed-bump.The return of Alphonce Omija and Geoffrey Ochieng could help in that quest.Fixtures for Matchweek 8#FKFPremierLeague pic.twitter.com/SFDt3cbhub— FKF Premier League (@Officialfkfpl) November 1, 2024 In the day’s early kickoff, Jackline Juma’s Talanta, off a 2-0 loss to Mathare United, will look to stop the bleeding when they come up against Kariobangi Sharks, who themselves are surprisingly winless in their last three matches.Still without coach William Muluya – who is on international duty with Harambee Stars in Uganda – on the sidelines, Sharks will be wary of losing further ground to runaway leaders KCB.The match preludes the K’Ogalo tie at Machakos from 1300 EAT.##NAJAVA_MECA_8469968##Elsewhere at Dandora Stadium, rejuvenated Sofpaka will welcome also rejuvenated Kakamega Homeboyz from 1500 EAT.Both sides come into the game on the back of their first wins this season and are quite desperate to move away from an early season slump that has them deep on the wrong side of the table.##NAJAVA_MECA_8470151##
