The coach has been away for a few days now and the team missed several days of training this past week due to a player strike.<\/p>\n<p>AC Leopards for their part warmed up for the match with a 2-0 league over rivals Inter club de Brazzaville in a Congo league match. Gor Mahia will not be at full strength. Aside from missing the Rwandese trio of Sibomana, Nizigiyimana and Kagere who are ineligible for this tournament, they will also be missing the services of Khalid Aucho who is suspended due to multiple yellow cards.<\/p>\n<p>Still coach Frank Nuttall is confident that the team will be able to pull through despite the missed training sessions.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t think the situation will affect us at all. At the end of the day, they only missed one training session but they are back on track and should no have be affected when get to the pitch on Sunday,&#8221; Nuttall told goal.com.<\/p>\n<p>Gor Mahia will be attempting to improve from their performance in 2014 when they exited at teh same stage. They will also be trying to exorcise the ghosts of of 1988 when Gor Mahia lost to Inter Club of Brazzaville after enduring harsh treatment at the hands of their hosts.<\/p>\n<p>To advance, Gor Mahia will be hoping to win by a score of 2-1. Any type of draw will eliminate them. And Nuttall thinks Gor Mahia are capable of scoring in Brazzaville.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They scored one goal in Nairobi. We can do the same away. If we are able to score a goal then we will have the match back on track and this is what we intend to do.&#8221;said Nutall to goal.com<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/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-aiming-for-a-miracle\/\"\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>Having watched Gor Mahia play international football for a long time now, I have never seen a match where they<\/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":[334,333],"class_list":["post-6521","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-2015-africa-champions-league","tag-gor-mahia-vs-ac-leopards"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6521","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=6521"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6521\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6523,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6521\/revisions\/6523"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6521"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6521"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6521"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
