The Batoto ba Mungu will have the support of their passionate fans, hoping to give their team the belief needed for a strong performance. Gor Mahia comes into the match as the favorite, but Sofapaka’s quick transitions and tactical discipline could give them the edge if they exploit defensive lapses. The midfield battle between Gor’s technical play and Sofapaka’s aggressive style will be pivotal in determining the outcome.

The previous meeting between these two teams ended in a memorable 3-1 victory for Shabana, and they’ll look to build on that momentum.
