Gor almost unstoppable in title race, says Situma

It is nearly an impossible task for opponents to stop Gor Mahia from clinching their record-extending 21st league title this season, ex-Tusker FC defender  James Situma has said.

Gor are enjoying a commanding seven-point gap at the helm of the 18-teams log on 50 points and with only 10 matches on the cards to wrap up the FKF-PL 2023/24 season.

And Situma asserts that it is unthinkable that the Kenyan heavyweights will bottle up the league title to their close challengers; Tusker (43) and Bandari FC (43).

“Gor Mahia for a long time when they pulled a huge gap on top of the log, they have always gone all the way to win the league many times. And, as things stand now, I think when you figure out the seven-point gap that they have pulled means that the opponents have a mountain to climb.

"They (Gor) will not want to slip further after losing 1-0 to third-placed Bandari FC on March 9 because they know very well that rivals will get a double motivation if they drop more points,” Situma noted.

However, the ex-international who also turned up for AFC Leopards, Sofapaka, Mathare and Kakamega Homeboyz has challenged close challengers to win all of their remaining matches and give Gor a run for their money.

 “The top teams must collect maximum points and even register results against Gor should they want to stop their mission this season. We still have matches to play and it will now remain to see who will be consistent enough in the title race,” Situma added.

For close to two decades, Gor Mahia and Tusker have been the most dominant in the league.
