Gor Mahia will lock horns with defending champions Kenya Police FC on Sunday, November 9, 2025, in a high-stakes fixture that could reshape the FKF Premier League title race.
The match at Police Sacco Stadium, which starts at 4 PM, pits two sides with contrasting starts to the season but shared ambitions.
Gor Mahia, second on the log with 13 points from six matches, are chasing leaders Kakamega Homeboyz, who sit on 14 points after seven games.
K’Ogalo have won four of their last five outings, scoring nine goals and conceding only two.
Their defensive solidity and attacking efficiency have made them early contenders for the crown.
Police FC, meanwhile, occupies ninth place with four points from two matches.
Their campaign began late due to continental commitments at the CAF Champions League, and they now face the pressure of catching up.
A win against Gor Mahia would not only boost their points but also reaffirm their status as title contenders.
Battle of Giants
Gor Mahia’s recent run includes hard-fought victories over Posta Rangers and Mathare United, followed by a 1–1 draw in their last outing against Ulinzi Stars.
Coach Charles Akonnor has praised his squad’s depth, noting the impact of substitutes in key games.
“We have options, and that is very important in matches like these.”
Police FC approach the clash with mixed momentum, having edged APS Bomet 1–0 in their opener and held Ulinzi Stars to a goalless draw.
With only two goals scored so far, they will need creativity to unlock Gor Mahia’s backline.
For Police FC, three points would propel them into the top half of the table and ease the pressure of a congested fixture list they have to face after getting knocked out of the CAF Champions League.
Gor Mahia vs Police FC Head-to-Head
Since Kenya Police FC’s promotion to the top flight in 2021, their duels with Gor Mahia have steadily grown into one of the FKF Premier League’s most competitive modern rivalries.
The two clubs have faced each other eight times in league competition, producing tight contests and low scorelines that reflect their tactical discipline.
Of those meetings, the Kenya Police have won three, Gor Mahia two, while three encounters ended in draws.
Police hold a slight edge in overall performance, having scored nine goals compared to Gor’s six.
Kenya Police’s recent domination of Kenyan football, capped by their 2024/25 league triumph, gives them confidence heading into Nyayo.
