On Wednesday night K’ogalo takes on Rangers in a match they
must win to keep up the pressure on Tusker as they match towards their 13th
league title. For K’ogalo the equation is clear, win all their remaining 5
matches and they become champions for the 13th time – and the first
since 1995.Rangers have been in the top flight since the 2010 season
when they came in as Posta Rangers and reverted to just Rangers after Posta
bailed out as their sponsors the following season. Rangers are currently bottom
of the league and their form of late suggests that K’ogalo should easily beat
them. But what is K’ogalo’s record against Rangers.
The following is K’ogalo’s record against Rangers in
numbers.
1 for draw: there has only been 1 draw between the two,
coming earlier this season when Baldin Ngwa scored late on for 1-1 draw at Nyayo Stadium. Rangers has also
beaten K’ogalo only once, a 3-0 defeat at the start of the 2011 season.
2 for double scorers: Baldin Ngwa is the only Gor player who has
scored twice against Rangers, scoring in a 2-0 victory on 22nd
August 2010 and the equalizer earlier this year. 2 is also for the average
points K’ogalo has taken from Rangers over the past 3 seasons.
3 for wins: Gor has beaten Rangers 3 times, 1-0 and 2-0 in
2010 and 3-0 in 2011.
4 for goals conceded: K’ogalo has allowed Rangers to hit the
back of their net 4 times in their 5 games since Rangers were promoted.
5 for streaks: If Gor beats Rangers, this will be their 5th
consecutive victory in the league. Gor are currently on a 4 game winning streak
(Oserian, Ulinzi, Sony and Leopards), equalling a 4 game winning streak between
June 23 and July 21 this year (W. Stima, KCB, Chemelil and City Stars). The longest
winning Sirkal managed last season was 3, between October 30 to 17 November
(Sony, City Stars and Rangers). The last time Sirkal had a 5 game winning
streak was between 28 September and 1 November 2008 (W. Stima, Red Berets,
Bandari, Mahakama and Mathare Youth).
6 for Rangers destroyers: 6 K’ogalos have scored 7 goals against
Rangers – George Odhiambo “Blackberry”, Julius Owino, Baldin Ngwa, Anthony
Akumu, John Kiplangat, and Dan Makori. Only Anthony Akumu is a starter in the
current team while Ngwa (on loan) and Julius Owino are currently turning out
for Rangers.
7 for Sserunkuma goals: Dan Sserunkuma has scored 7 goals in
the league for K’ogalo this season, the second highest this season behind Rama
Salim. A goal against Rangers will take his tally to 8. Only 6 players have
scored more than 7 goals in the league for K’ogalo over the past 5 seasons
(George Odhiambo “blackberry”, Baldin Ngwa, Rama Salim, Julius Owino, Kevin
Omondi and Duncan Owiti).
