Gor Mahia take on Posta Rangers in their second league action fixture at the Machakos stadium later today.

Gor Mahia captain Philemon Otieno has urged his side to keep their momentum going when they take on Posta Rangers later today in an FKF Premier league (FKF PL)fixture at the Machakos Stadium.

The defending champions take part in what is to be their second fixture of the season having been committed to CAF Champions League duty at the beginning of the season.

K’Ogalo started their title defence in style with a convincing 4-0 win against Mathare United in their league opener fixture at the Machakos stadium on September 28.

The 21-time FKF PL champions now turn their focus to the Mailers, looking to keep the momentum going with another convincing performance.

“I think our preparation is going on well and we are looking forward to having a good game,” said Otieno via Gor Mahia FC media.

The skipper assured the K’Ogalo faithful to give a proper account of themselves when the take on the Mailers.

“I want to urge all our fans wherever they are to turn up in large numbers because this our second game and we need to keep the momentum going. So, I just want to urge them turn up on Saturday and give us the support that we need and we as players we will make sure that we do everything to get maximum points,” added the skipper.

Rangers however will be looking to spoil the party for the defending champions as they hope to bounce back from a 3-0 thrashing at the hands of league leaders KCB FC on matchday 2.

The Mailers would have hoped to gain momentum with their matchday 3 fixture against Shabana just before the international break but the match was postponed due to security concerns.

The Bernard Kawinzi-coached side places 8th on the log on 4 points, 6 from the summit with 3 matches played, winning 1, drawing and losing the same amount.

The defending champions places 10th on the log just a point below the Mailers with their win against the Slum Boys being their only match played.
