Gor Mahia captain has raised the alarm ahead of their high-stakes FKF Premier League clash with Sofapaka.

Gor Mahia captain Philemon Otieno has admitted that the team is under immense pressure to deliver when they take on Sofapaka on Saturday at the Dandora Stadium.

The FKF Premier League champions look to carry on their amazing form that has seen them back in title-contention under Croatian coach Sinisa Mihic after a poor start to the campaign.

A win against Sofapaka on Saturday will present K'Ogalo with a brilliant opportunity to close the gap further at the summit as their title retention charge intensifies.
