Gor Mahia Head coach Hassan Oktay has on his side requested fans from both teams to maintain peace and has promised to reward them with entertaining football.
Dear @AFCLeopards fans, accept any kind of results tomorrow. We promise not to score more than 5 goals in the spirit of handshake, so don't destroy seats at Kasarani stadium after the 3rd goal. It's a humble request from K'ogalo fans. Thank you #MashemejiDerby

“I expect a big crowd at Kasarani and this is always a good atmosphere for football. My prayer is fans from both teams will maintain peace and avoid provocations that might lead to fighting,” he said,
“We won against Vihiga on Wednesday and this is a morale booster heading into the derby. The team spirit is perfect and I know we will do well. We play attractive football and fans will be entertained. I urge all the Gor Mahia fans to come to the stadium and support us.” He added.
