Gor Mahia have been busy preparing ever since they arrived from Madagascar.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe team is in good spirits. Our preparation has been in top gear. We expect a tough, tough duel against Ulinzi. It\u2019s never easy against them but the good thing is that we have always matched them toe-to-toe.&#8221; said Frank Ouna\u00a0 to the Nation.<\/p>\n<p>Ulinzi had a good start to their 2016 campaign, beating Tusker 2-0. Ulinzi have added a number of newplayers who have exceled including speedy youngsters like Joseph Kuria who along with John Makwatta are the people whom Gor mahia must watch. Makwatta scored 16 goals last season and was the top scorer for Ulinzi.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is just another game, another chance for us to get three points. Getting points is all we are here to do and I know that the boys can do it. I have told the strikers to be composed and not to be fearful of Gor. They are vulnerable and we should take advantage of that,\u201d said coach Robert Matano.<\/p>\n<p>One thing Matano will find is that Gor Mahia is not vulnerable in defence. It is the attack that worries Gor Mahia fans and is giving coach Nuttall sleepless nights. This is a big test for Nuttall. Last season he thrived with an attack that had free scoring players who could take advantage of superb crosses coming from the flanks. This season he will need to make a completely new combination work with Kahata, Agwanda, Blackberry and Keli. Speaking of Keli, the highly touted striker appears to be suffering from a crisis of confidence. Nuttall will need to get inside his brain and psyche him up to perform.<\/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-in-high-spirits\/\"\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>Chasing their first win of the season, Gor Mahia will take on Ulinzi Stars at Afraha stadium today.
