This will be the first time Simba wa Nairobi, now placed second, will be hosting the current league leaders Gor Mahia since the 2022-23 FKF season-ender in June 2023 in Kasarani.
Then, Gor Mahia came from behind to win it 4-1 to scoop the league title.
Gor Mahia went on to register a similar scoreline in the first leg game of the current season played in September last year.
The upcoming game will be match number 30 in the Kenyan top-flight between the two since the 2005/6 premier league season, and the 15th game for City Stars as the home team.
From the previous 14 home games, City Stars has a single win over Gor Mahia.
In June 2006, then known as World Hope, the team ‘beat’ Gor – who never turned up for a 36th round tie in Nyayo Stadium. It was a walkover.
From the other 13 games, City Stars has managed six draws and lost the other seven.
In the 14 home games, Gor Mahia has outscored Simba wa Nairobi 26 goals to twelve.
Ahead to the upcoming game, City Stars parades a historic 1-0 away win over Bandari in Mombasa from last weekend, as Gor Mahia comes to the party with a 0-0 home draw over Ulinzi Stars.
