While Gor Mahia continue their title hunt under new head coach Charles Akonnor, Kenya Police FC will be looking to adapt impressively to life under Serbian tactician Dusan Stojanovic.
Gor Mahia enter the fixture sitting second on the league table with 13 points after six matches (W4, L1, D1), remaining unbeaten in their last five outings.
Their recent 1–1 draw with Ulinzi Stars halted a four-match winning streak but extended their consistent run, losing only on the opening day, underlining their consistency and defensive solidity.
Kenya Police, meanwhile, have also been impressive this season, currently placed ninth with eight points from four matches (W2, D2).
They remain the only unbeaten side in the league, coming off a hard-fought 1–0 victory over Sofapaka last time out. Kenya Police have conceded just two goals all season, the fewest in the division, albeit having played four games fewer.
Historically, this fixture has produced tight battles.
In their last five head-to-head meetings, Police have won twice, Gor once, and two matches have ended in draws - further emphasising how evenly matched these sides are.
This clash is expected to be a tactical chess match.
Kenya Police, before even Stojanovic’s recent arrival, have been one of the most defensively compact teams in the FKFPL, often operating in a structured 4-3-3 shape that transforms into a 4-4-1-1 block off the ball.
Their organisation has been key, as they have not conceded even a single goal in any domestic match so far.
Kenya Police are unbeaten in their last four league matches (W-D-W-D), showcasing solid defensive organisation and consistency.
Meanwhile, Gor Mahia remain unbeaten in five consecutive league outings (W-W-W-W-D), maintaining strong momentum and title-challenging form.
Police’s strength lies in their defensive balance and midfield control.
The backline, marshalled by goalkeeper Job Ochieng (who already has four clean sheets this season), provides stability and composure.
In midfield, Tobias Otieno, Charles Ouma, and Eric Zakayo have looked to form a well-balanced trio - Otieno in particular has been outstanding, assisting both of Police’s goals so far.
Up front, Samuel Ayanrinde’s physical presence and David Okoth’s creativity offer key outlets in attack.
For Gor Mahia, Akonnor’s men have been clinical and tactically fluid, operating primarily in a 4-3-3 formation that emphasises controlled buildup and possession play, wide rotations, and intelligent pressing triggers.
The team’s defensive duo of Mike Kibwage and Sylvester Owino has been formidable, maintaining one of the best defensive records in the league.
Akonnor, however, has publicly admitted that his side is still searching for sharpness in attack, citing composure and conversion as areas for improvement.
This fixture could see the return of Ebenezer Adukwaw, who is expected to start after recovering from injury.
Kenya Police Probable XI (4-3-3):
GK: Job Ochieng; DEF: Daniel Sakari, David Ochieng, Brian Okoth, Abud Omar; MID: Charles Ouma, Brian Musa, Tobias Otieno; FWD: David Okoth, Samuel Ayarinde, Edward Omondi
Gor Mahia Probable XI (4-3-3):

GK: Brynne Omondi; DEF: Paul Ochouga, Bryton Anyona, Mike Kibwage, Sylvester Owino; MID: Alpha Onyango, Austin Odhiambo, Enock Morrison; FWD: Ebenezer Adukwaw, Felix Ochieng, Sheriff Musa
Both coaches may introduce minor adjustments.
Akonnor could rotate his midfield and attack, while Stojanovic may tweak his attacking trio to add pace and unpredictability against Gor’s solid defense.
Key Pointers
- Kenya Police remain unbeaten in the FKF Premier League this season
- Kenya Police have not conceded this season in the league
- Police have not scored more than one goal in any match this season
- Gor Mahia have scored in each of their last five games
- Both sides have not conceded 2+ goals in any match so far
Gor Mahia are the best away team this season, winning all their games on the road.
This match has all the ingredients of a high-quality tactical battle. Kenya Police might look to remain compact, absorb pressure, and hit Gor Mahia on the counter.
Their defensive organisation could frustrate Gor’s rhythm.
For Gor Mahia, the key will be unlocking Police’s disciplined block.
Their midfield trio’s ability to dictate tempo and create numerical superiority between the lines will be crucial.
If Adukwaw and Sheriff can stretch the defense, Gor’s fluid attack could eventually find openings.
Given both teams’ strong defensive records, a low-scoring draw or narrow win looks likely. However, Gor Mahia’s superior form, depth, and recent momentum make them slight favourites to edge it.
Prediction: Under 2.5 goals
