The champions host an ambitious Nairobi United side on Sunday afternoon in a clash that could still deliver an entertaining spectacle despite the title already being decided.
The match will be played at Nyayo Stadium with kickoff scheduled for 3pm as part of the final round of FKF Premier League fixtures.
Gor Mahia enter the encounter sitting top of the table with 69 points from 33 matches, while Nairobi United occupy fifth place with 50 points and remain one of the league’s surprise packages this campaign.
Gor Mahia head into the fixture unbeaten in five of their last six league matches, winning three and drawing two during that spell.
K’Ogalo have scored six goals and conceded just two across their previous five outings, underlining the defensive solidity that has powered them to another title.

Ebenezer Adukwaw, Samuel Kapen and Shariff Musa should lead the attacking department, while Alpha Onyango, Jackson Dwang and Enock Morrison provide balance and creativity in midfield.
Nairobi United have also shown strong form recently despite a few inconsistent performances.

However, defensive lapses remain a concern after conceding six goals in their last four league games.

Kevin Wangaya will likely continue to dictate Nairobi United’s attacking rhythm following a brilliant run of performances.
Benson Omalla and Michael Karamor are expected to spearhead the frontline, while Brian Mzee and Lesley Owino handle midfield responsibilities.
Mustafa Kizza, Enock Machaka and Osanya Kevin could also provide width and pace from advanced areas.
