Chemelil Sugar sits 17th in the standings with only four points this season. They're heading into the match at the back of a 3-0 loss against KCB. They're up against a wounded Gor Mahia who also lost in the last Kenyan Premier League match against this season surprise package Kakamega Homeboyz.
Kogalo will seek to return to winning ways to get back into the title race. Their surprise loss against Kakamega Homeboyz made them drop to fourth in the standings, five points behind leaders Tusker FC.
A match against out-of-form Chemelil presents Gor Mahia with a perfect opportunity to get back to winning ways.
