We kick off the new year with a crucial mid-week SportPesa League fixture against Kariobangi Sharks on tomorrow Tuesday, 6 January 2026 at Kasarani Stadium from 4pm.
The match presents an immediate opportunity for K’Ogalo to make a strong statement in the title race.
Currently fourth on the table with 23 points, we are just one point behind leaders Kakamega Homeboyz, and importantly, hold three games in hand. A victory on Tuesday will propel us to the summit and set a positive tone for the year ahead.
Head-to-Head Advantage
History strongly favours Gor Mahia in this fixture. The two sides have met 17 times in the league, with K’Ogalo emerging victorious on 12 occasions, drawing three, and suffering just two defeats. Gor Mahia have scored 29 goals while conceding 14 in those encounters.
Recent meetings have been even more emphatic. Gor Mahia have won their last five league matches against Sharks, scoring nine goals and conceding only two, underlining their dominance in this matchup.
Team News
Gor Mahia will, however, begin the new year without influential midfielder Austine Odhiambo, who has departed the club. His absence will be felt, but it also presents an opportunity for others in the squad to step up as the team looks to maintain momentum and push for top spot.
With SportPesa League positions tight and the title race finely balanced, Tuesday’s clash carries significant weight. Gor Mahia will be aiming to capitalize on their strong head-to-head record, start 2026 on a winning note, and reassert themselves as genuine contenders for the league crown.
