Gor Mahia vs Muranga Prediction: Defending champions to return to winning ways

Kenyatta Stadium will be the venue for the round 8 Kenyan Premier League encounter between Gor Mahia and Muranga. The visiting Mahia won the last meeting of this fixture. Let’s preview this game and make predictions.

Gor Mahia lost against Nairobi City the previous weekend and will look to right their wrong. In that game, Levin Odhiambo's strike put Gor Mahia in the lead, but two second-half strikes for their opponent by Robinson Asenwa and Dennis Oalo turned the game around. In the meantime, Gor Mahia's first three matches of the season ended in wins over Mathare United and Posta Rangers, while they drew KCB. 

Muranga's last league encounter was against AFC Leopards and won 1-0. Humphrey Obina’s strike was the difference in that game, securing maximum points for this side. In the meantime, Muranga remain unbeaten in their last three games, having drawn Bandari and Mara Sugar in prior games. This season, Muranga have accumulated 8 points from six matches, leaving them seated in the 7th spot. 

Gor Mahia might have struggled this season, but I do not see them dropping points in this fixture. While Muranga has not lost their last three matches, the road team has not been too excellent. Gor Mahia should be at their best here, having dropped points only twice this season. Bet on the home side to win, an encounter that should end 2-0.
