Otieno backs Gor to reclaim Premier League title from Tusker

Gor Mahia captain Philemon Otieno is upbeat about their chances of reclaiming the Football Kenya Federation Premier League title they lost against Tusker in the last two seasons.

Otieno says they are treating the two remaining fixtures as finals as they bid to prevail in an epic showdown with defending champions Tusker FC.

“We are not under pressure but we are putting in the hard work that is needed to finish off the season with the title.”

K’Ogalo will play against Kakamega HomeBoyz tomorrow before winding up their season with a clash against struggling Nairobi City Stars, fixtures that the captain admits are tricky and require maximum concentration.

“They are tricky fixtures especially the Home Boyz match because their coach was with us before he joined them but we are determined to beat them and get the maximum points and with the international break that we have had we have been busy polishing up the tactics required,” he reckoned.

The 19-time Premier League champions top the league standings with 67 points after 32 games, two points ahead of the defending champions, Tusker FC.
