Gor Mahia vs Bidco United Prediction: Home team to close league gap

Gor Mahia will look to continue their title defence when they take on Bidco United at Kenyatta Stadium. The last time these two teams met, Gor Mahia secured a hard-fought 3-4 win away from home. Can Bidco United replicate that performance?

Gor Mahia extended their winning run against Talanta FC the previous time out and will hope for a similar result. In a game that ended 2-3, first-half strikes from Sylvester Owino, Austine Odhiambo, and Chris Ochieng were enough to see this team take maximum points. In the meantime, prior encounters saw Gor Mahia defeat Mara Sugar and Kakamega Homeboyz, ending with identical scores of 2-0. This season, Gor Mahia have 17 points accumulated from nine matches. With 17 goals scored and eight conceded, Gor Mahia sit 4th. 

Bidco United played KCB the previous time out and settled for a goalless draw. In the meantime, that result extended the visiting team's run of games to three without a win. This team lost to the Posta Rangers while drawing the Ulinzi Stars in that run. In their first 11 matches of the season, Bidco United only had two wins, coming against Bandari and Kariobangi Sharks. This season, the visiting team has 11 points from 11 matches, averaging a point per game. However, this team sits in the relegation zone, scoring seven goals and ten conceded. 

Gor Mahia's chances of winning are high, and I expect the home team to take advantage. Looking at how Bidco United have performed lately, the visitors have been shaky and struggled to show quality offensive play, which will be an issue to deal with, as Gor Mahia has been good lately. The two teams, however, will not have things easy as I expect them to give their all. Yet, a win for Gor Mahia is the best option in what should be a low offensive fixture.
