Mathare along with Sofapaka are using the stadium as their home ground.<\/p>\n<p>In past years, Gor Mahia brought pomp and circumstance to towns like Thika when they visited and the local merchants did a roaring business. We expect much of the same today.<\/p>\n<p>But there will always be that small segment of fans who might look to cause trouble should results not go their way. It is important for Kogalo fans to police themselves because the media will be keenly watching and ready to highlight any mis-steps by Kogalo fans given that this is a newly rebuilt stadium. The last thing the clubs needs is headlines referring to damage at the newlly refurbished stadium.<\/p>\n<h3>Preview<\/h3>\n<p>courtesy of goal.com<\/p>\n<p>Gamwise Gor Mahia will be looking for their second victory when they take on Mathare United at Machakos Municipal Stadium on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p><em>K\u2019Ogalo<\/em> could not have wished for a perfect start when they stopped Nairobi City Stars 2-0 last Wednesday and have a chance to be at the top of the standings this early in the season.<\/p>\n<p>Gor Mahia coach Bobby Williamson is unlikely to change his winning side against City Stars and will therefore, start with Jerim Onyango in goal with Musa Mohammed and David \u2018Calabar\u2019 Owino pillars in defence.<\/p>\n<p>Ugandan import Dan Sserunkuma should lead the goal hunt again but perhaps this time with support from George &#8216;Blackberry&#8217; Odhiambo. Winless United will be under pressure to open their first account in the season.<\/p>\n<p>Coach Stanley Okumbi has recruited well by bringing on board the likes of Noah Abich and Hussein Zzinda. The two join an already experienced squad that is capable of stopping Gor Mahia.<\/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\/let-peace-reign-as-gor-mahia-take-on-mathare\/\"\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>Gor Mahia will travel to Machakos on Sunday to take on Mathare United at the newly refurbished Kenyatta stadium.
