The first leg match was played at Mumias complex and Western Stima shocked Gor Mahia 2-1. On that occasion, David Owino had given Kogalo an early goal before Western Stima scored twice.<\/p>\n<p>Coach Bobby Williamson, who made a winning debut, beating Chemelil Sugar 2-0 on Wednesday, played down the revenge angle. \u201cWe don\u2019t talk about revenge at all. We\u2019ll take game by game and what we want is results. It\u2019s still along way to go, but the good thing is we know how to handle the pressure at the top,\u2019\u2019 he told the Standard.<\/p>\n<p>Gor Mahia will be buoyed by the fact that they will be playing at home in front of their home fans. They will also be playing with more confidence having overcome a tough Chemelil side on Wednesday.\u00a0 Fans will be hoping that they can pick up from where they left off on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Defence<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The one area Gor Mahia has been able to depend on throughout the year has been the goalkeeping of Jerim Onyango and the defence. Even in matches where Gor Mahia has been outplayed, the defence has come through and helped them win. Gor Mahia have not conceded a goal in the last four games. Jerim has been in the form of his life this season while David Owino, Donald Mosoti, Musa Mohamed, Israel Emuge and Chris Wekesa have been solid.<\/p>\n<p>Keeper Jerim Onyango has been full of praise for the defence. The team of defenders have been terrific so far this season. It is one thing to win a match and another to keep the opponents away from our goal, and that they have done very well this season, They&#8217;ve been working hard &#8211; not only in defending very well but also creating or scoring goals for us at the other end, like Owino and Mosoti who have scored three goals for us.<\/p>\n<p>And on the rare occassions where a striker has beaten a defender, Jerim has been there to make a save.<\/p>\n<p>They will need to be on top of their game in order to contain Western Stima dangerman Wesley Kemboi.<\/p>\n<p>At seven goals, Gor Mahia has conceded the fewest goals in the league along with Ulinzi.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/news\/gor-mahia-take-on-western-stima\/\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"social\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground:  !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 100% !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The match against Western Stima this Sunday at Nyayo stadium presents Gor Mahia with a chance to avenge the defeat<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_layout":"default_layout","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2766","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2766","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2766"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2766\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2766"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2766"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2766"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
