The ticketing information for Sunday’s FKF Premier League clash between arch-rivals Gor Mahia and AFC Leopards has been released.

VIP tickets for the derby which will be played at the Nyayo National Stadium has been set at Sh500 while regular tickets will cost Sh200.

The club is expected to provide more information on the venues where the tickets will be sold.

The Mashemeji Derby is a high-stakes game which presents the victor with the bragging rights.

The first-leg tie played in January at the same venue ended in a barren draw.

K’Ogalo are two points ahead of Tusker on the League table and a result other than a win could see the Brewers, who play Kariobangi Sharks a day earlier, leapfrog them ahead of Sunday's clash.

Ingwe who have shifted their focus on the Mozzart Bet Cup tournament, have not defeated their opponents in all competitions for the last seven years, a fate that Coach Patrick Aussems is hoping to bring to an end.

Aussems says he will rotate the squad to ensure he has a fully fit team when they face Western rivals, Kakamega Homeboyz, later this month in the Mozzart Bet semifinal.

On the other hand, Gor’s talisman Johnathan Mckinstry hopes to get maximum points but knows it will be a difficult task.

“The boys are eager and we are going in there wanting to get the three points but we will have to work for them," he said.

Gor Mahia CEO Raymond Oruo has called on club supporters to show up in large numbers as the players need their support in the run-in for their 20th title in history.

"I think we will urge the fans to turn up in large numbers; the team is doing well, we are on the homestretch and this is where they come in," Oruo said.

"This is where we urge the supporters because the boys need their support. The last push towards the title is important," he told the club’s media.

This will be the 96th head-to-head tie in the history of Mashemeji Derby since the first time the two sides locked horns on May 5, 1968.

K’Ogalo holds the bragging rights having won 33 of the encounters while Ingwe has secured 28 victories. The rivals have tied in 33 meetings.
