On Sunday 28 May afternoon, all roads lead to Nyayo Stadium as Tusker host Gor Mahia from 3 pm EAT in what is being billed as a potential Football Kenya Federation Premier League (FKFPL) title decider.It will be an affair of two teams that have shown mettle throughout the season, a game that could be won on very fine margins.While Robert Matano’s charges are out to continue their recent dominance in the local scene at the end of the campaign, K’Ogalo hope to reclaim a title they have eluded them since 2020 when they were awarded the title in the botched season.##NAJAVA_MECA_7283749##Gor Mahia’s loss to AFC Leopards last round dealt them a dent in their push and a perfect bounce back to avoid trailing Tusker by four points heading to the last three matches but coach Johnathan McKinstry believes the loss in the derby put them in a fighting spot to bounce back.“When you do not get what you want, you come back sort of redetermined and reenergized to make sure that the next time out you get what you want. The focus from the team has been really good, the intensity is really high and they are looking forward to the game on Sunday. You always want to win your football matches and there is no doubt that any time you drop points, it does not matter who it is against, it means there is a bigger requirement in the next matches to pick up those points. What is good is that our next game is against Tusker. I do not think we could have asked for a better next match coming off the derby which I think is good for us because the guys are super energized,” the coach told Mozzart Sport.On the other hand, the Brewers come into the match in high spirits following their Mozzart Bet Cup triumph over Ulinzi Stars last weekend, and with a double, just like they did in 2016, in sight.Egypt’s Ah Ahly crowned BAL championsTusker’s Ugandan import Deogratious Ojok notes that their motivation going into the game is to keep the top spot.”Since we are on top of the league right now, it is something that will keep us pushing. The focus is just on the Sunday game, which we are all motivated to win so that we maintain our place at the top of the log. We are confident because we know what it means to be on top of the league, and so it keeps us motivated. We are happy and motivated to win the Sunday game, and we are going to do our best in that game,” Ojok said.Leading scorer Benson Omala has endured a dry spell in the last three matches, allowing his closest competitor Elvis Rupia to close in to within four goals. In those three matches that Omala has failed to score, K’Ogalo have dropped five points.At the Kasarani Annex, Bidco United are set to host relegated Vihiga Bullets in the first match of the doubleheader before paving way for the encounter pitting FC Talanta and Kakamega Homeboyz.Wazito FC, who are fighting to avoid the drop take the hunt for three points to Mombasa as they face a Bandari side that has not lost under the interim care of Twahir Muhiddin.
