"I would like Gor Mahia to win but AFC Leopards seems to be the team to carry the day, K'Ogalo have not been consistent this season and not showing the prowess they had in the previous one. Also there has been a drought when it comes to scoring goals from the attackers, Ingwe on the other hand always come to derby unpredictable. Finally when you look at the two coaches, Hall is more tactical than Ze Maria. All in all derby can go either way." - Mosh Junior.
