Kariobangi Sharks vs Gor Mahia Prediction: Visitors won’t lose

The thirteenth round of the Kenyan Premier League will feature a game between the Kariobangi Sharks and Gor Mahia. The match will take place at Kenyatta Stadium. Gor Mahia is the superior team going into this match; yet, given that the Kariobangi Sharks will be playing at home, is it possible for them to earn at least one point from this match? 

Kariobangi Sharks

Kariobangi Sharks are seeking a better outcome in their upcoming match, having suffered a 3-1 loss in their previous Premier League encounter against Nairobi City. In that game, Kariobangi Sharks conceded two penalties, both converted by Vincent Otieno, in addition to Mohammed Bajaber's initial goal for Nairobi City. The team has encountered challenges in their offensive play in recent matches, scoring only 3 goals against opposing sides in their last 6 games. During this period, they have also conceded a total of 7 goals.

With just 13 points from a possible 36 this season, Kariobangi Sharks currently occupy the 13th spot in the league standings.

Gor Mahia

Gor Mahia enters this match on the heels of a 0-2 Premier League victory over Wazito in their recent outing. In that game, goals from Benson Omala in the 15th minute and Chris Ochieng in the 90+3 minutes made the crucial difference. Recent encounters involving Gor Mahia have generally been characterized by a lack of attacking fluidity, resulting in somewhat uneventful contests. Over their last six matches, a combined total of 4 goals has been scored by both Gor Mahia and their opponents, averaging 0.67 goals per game.

As they approach this fixture, Gor Mahia finds themselves just one point behind the league leaders, Posta Rangers, having accumulated 24 points from 12 matches.

In light of the fact that I believe the significance of this match will play a significant role in determining the outcome of this match, I opted to back the team that is traveling.
