Head to Head

APR Form

APR will be feeling confident heading into the Kagame Cup after a solid campaign in the Rwanda Premier League. They finished second in the table and only suffered four defeats throughout the season.

Taleb Abderrahim’s team were almost unstoppable in the final weeks of the season, ending the campaign with four straight league wins, including a 2-0 victory over Gicumbi in their last fixture. They also won the Peace Cup, beating Rayon Sport on penalties after playing out a 0-0 draw in normal time.

APR are solid going forward and have scored in nine of their last 10 matches in all competitions. However, they can be a bit shaky at the back and have conceded in seven of those 10 fixtures.

Gor Mahia Form

Gor Mahia are also coming off a successful domestic campaign after emerging champions of the Kenyan Premier League. They led the league for much of the season and cruised to their 22nd domestic title.

The Kenyan giants ended the season in good form, as they went unbeaten in eight of their final 10 matches in all competitions. However, the last competitive outing for Charles Akonnor’s team was in May when they suffered a 1-0 home defeat to Nairobi United.

One similarity with APR is that Gor Mahia also have some attacking quality, scoring in four of their last six matches in all competitions. However, they have conceded in three of the last four fixtures in this run.

Gor Mahia (4-2-3-1): Bryne Odhiambo; Sylvester Owino, Mike Kibwage, Geoffrey Ochieng, Lewis Bandi; Lawrence Juma, Alpha Onyango; Ben Omondi, Enoch Machaga, Samuel Kapen; Felix Oluoch.
