vs Prediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

GOR Mahia and Murang'a SEAL also go into matchday one on zero points, fourth and fourteenth respectively in a still provisional table. GOR Mahia arrive off a tough run of cup fixtures: a 1-5 defeat away to Pyramids FC in the CAF Champions League, before that another home defeat 0-2 against the same side and, further back, in the CECAFA Club Cup, a 1-2 defeat away to Rayon Sports and a 1-1 draw with Al Hilal Omdurman. Murang'a SEAL closed last domestic season with a 2-1 win over Mara Sugar, before that a 2-0 win away at Bidco United, a 1-3 defeat to GOR Mahia themselves and, further back, a 1-0 win over Homeboyz. In the head to head GOR Mahia won the most recent meeting, on 17 May, 3-1 away; in the game before that, on their own ground, they won 3-2. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
