It goes without saying that Gor Mahia have been below par since the month of August. Three successive scoreless draws against SoNy Sugar, Posta Rangers and Bandari. This was followed by a loss to Nzoia United in the GoTV shield that put Gor Mahia&#8217;s hopes of playing continental football in 2017 in jeopardy.<\/p>\n<p>The defence and goalkeeping departments will not be a problem especially if Ze Maria and assistant coach Mathew Ottamax have buried the hatchet. However attacking wingbacks which has been a useful tool in the Gor Mahia arsenal with Nizigiyimana and Eric Ouma has been missing of late. The midfield has been problematic and\u00a0 Ze maria cannot seem to bury the hatchet with Collins Okoth. And with midfield not creating chances, the attack has been moribund. Most troubling has been the blunt attack. The forwardline combination of Kagere and Tuyisenge has been so dysfunctional that neither one can score. But Coach Ze Maria has had almost two weeks in which to work out strategies.<\/p>\n<p>Chemelil coach Francis Baraza who has been known to bad mouth Kogalo is once again bullish about his team&#8217;s chances. And as usual, any team that plays against Gor Mahia, brings their best effort.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m going to Nairobi for nothing less than three points. Gor Mahia are champions, we respect them but we don\u2019t fear them. I\u2019m going for maximum points,\u201d he said to the Star newspaper.<\/p>\n<p>Baraza s however aware that Gor Mahia is a sleeping giant that can arise at any moment.<\/p>\n<p>Gor Mahia have been playing very well but they have not been lucky. The game will be tough but I have prepared my team well for the match,\u201d he continued<\/p>\n<p>Ze Maria knows that Gor Mahia are in for a difficult match against a Chemelil side that is highly disciplined and has won their last four matches with identical 1-0 wins over Bandari, City Stars, Muhoroni Youth and SoNy Sugar. A starke contrast to Gor Mahia&#8217;s poor form of late. Chemelil are now in fourth position.<\/p>\n<p>The last time these two sides met was on February 17.\u00a0 Gor Mahia were still under coach Frank Nuttall. The match ended scoreless.<\/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-set-to-clash-with-chemelil\/\"\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 resume their 2016 Kenya Premier League campaign on Saturday when they take on Chemelil Sugar at Nyayo<\/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":[339],"class_list":["post-8827","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-gor-mahia-vs-chemelil-sugar"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8827","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=8827"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8827\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8830,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8827\/revisions\/8830"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8827"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8827"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8827"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
