Gor Mahia, meanwhile, have netted 46 and conceded 23.Recent meetings favour the law enforcers. Police have won three of their last five encounters with Gor, including a 1-0 win in December 2024 and a dominant 3-1 victory in February.A goalless draw in November 2023 was the only time Gor managed to avoid defeat in that spell.While the top is sealed, the bottom is a pressure cooker.##NAJAVA_MECA_8986543##Bidco United, at the bottom with 32 points, must beat Sofapaka and hope both Murang’a Seal and Nairobi City Stars lose to escape the drop.Murang’a Seal, on 34 points, face Talanta, who themselves are 14th on 35, and a defeat could send either side down depending on results elsewhere.Nairobi City Stars are also on 34 points and need a result against Mathare United to stand a chance of staying up.Posta Rangers, 15th with 34 points, are not safe either. They visit Bandari in Mombasa and need at least a draw. A loss, coupled with wins for Murang’a and City Stars, could send them into the dreaded playoff spot.Harambee Stars defender set to leave South African clubMara Sugar (36 pts) and Ulinzi Stars (37 pts) are hovering just above the danger zone and could be dragged into the fray if they suffer heavy losses and teams below them win big. Sharks, Mathare, and KCB, on 37 and 41 points, respectively, they appear safer but cannot rest easy.Meanwhile, the race for third place is also set to go down to the wire. Kakamega Homeboyz (57 points) host Tusker (56) in Mumias in what is effectively a bronze medal decider.Elsewhere, AFC Leopards will take on KCB in Machakos, while Bandari hosts Posta Rangers in another fixture that could influence the relegation battle.
