"For us players, the Mashemeji Derby is usually a big game," Omala told Gor Mahia's media team ahead of the 97th edition of the rivalry.
“As you can see, with the position we are in now, we cannot afford to lose points or the game if we want to win the league.”
Currently, Gor Mahia sit third on the table with 54 points, trailing Tusker (55 points) and leaders Kenya Police (61 points).
A slip-up against Leopards could severely dent their title hopes. However, Omala believes a win could reignite their championship charge, especially if Kenya Police falter against Shabana.
