Will Kogalo players celebrate on Wednesday<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

When Gor Mahia last played Bandari in Mombasa on March 30, Bandari shockingly won 2-1. Aside from the loss to Top Fry Nakuru, this is probably the most unexpected defeat Gor Mahia has suffered this season. It cannot be gainsaid therefore that Gor Mahia will be gunning for a measure of revenge When they play Bandari at City stadium on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Even more important however, Gor Mahia will be hoping to pick up where they left off against Chemelil on Saturday. It was an all round brilliant performance from all the players; Skipper Jerim Onyango is in peak form, making incredible save after incredible save, Geoffrey Walusimbi is thriving in his new role as playmaker, while Kizito and Gattuso are as solid as ever.<\/p>\n

As for Sserunkuma, his goal-scoring touch has incredibly\u00a0 not escaped him since he joined the club in 2011. Yet again he leads the scoring charts.This kind of goal scoring consistency has not been seen since Hezborn Omollo in the mid 1980s and Ouma “Chege” in the early 1970s.<\/p>\n

David Owino “Calabar” has yet to have a bad league game since Logarusic gave him a spot in the starting line-up. Talk about consistency. And of course, Gor Mahia fans were elated to see George Odhiambo “Blackberry” recover his mystical touch from 4 years ago.\u00a0 Some strikers have a fragile psyche and it takes a certain type of coach to coax the confidence back to the surface. Perhaps thats what Nuttall has done with Blackberry.\u00a0 Fans will be hoping that he continues on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

But Bandari who are under the chairmanship of former Gor Mahia winger Ben Oloo “Breakdance” will be in a fighting mood. They are literally fighting for survival, being only 6 points above the relegation zone. Their last four games have ended in draws, including an impressive draw against Sofapaka.<\/p>\n

Of note, Gor Mahia will probably be playing against midfielder Shaban Kenga who donned the Kogalo jersey while on loan during the first half of thsi year. But coach Twahir Muhidin has so far been unimpressed with Kenga since his return.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe is not just the same player we had before he went to Gor Mahia. Something has changed about him and I have challenged him to work harder and give more”. Remember Kenga had expressed a desire to stay at Gor Mahia but he was forced back by Bandari.<\/p>\n

Skipper Jerim Onyango for his part has underscored the importance of concentration as the league enters\u00a0 its final lap.<\/p>\n

“We are at a crucial stage and we can\u2019t afford to lose concentration even a bit. Against Chemelil Sugar it was tough and thankfully we got three points. Now the stage we are in requires a lot of focus and for us it means we continue winning our matches.” said Jerim to futaa.com<\/p>\n

And when it comes to concentration and focus, Jerry “Jagoal” has been leading by example over the past four games. He has been solid between the posts.<\/p>\n

A win for Gor Mahia will put them 4 points clear of closest challengers Sofapaka. But coach Frank Nuttall acknowledges that there is still a long way to go. \u201cIt\u2019s difficult to tell if we will win the league because it\u2019s getting intense every time but so long as we are on the go and take each game as it comes we will win it,\u201d the Scotsman said.<\/p>\n

The match kicks off on Wednesday at 4pm at City stadium.<\/p>\n
