Gor Mahia head coach Leonardo Martins Neiva believes AFC Leopards is among the teams that will be challenging for the league title this season.
While Gor has been labelled as the favourites once again this season, the Brazilian believes that there are a few teams who will be giving them a run in their quest to defend their title including Tusker FC and Kenya Police FC.

In an interview with Flashscore, Neiva said they were not afraid of facing anyone but were aware of the teams he felt could offer a title challenge in the 2024/25 season.
“Not really,” Neiva answered when asked if they were afraid of facing any team. “They (teams) are trying their best. We are among the favourites together with Kenya Police, AFC Leopards and Tusker.”
With Benson Omala out of the squad, Mahia has found it hard to pick a target man to find them goals with their first two games having produced goals from different players on the pitch something that doesn’t worry the Brazilian.
“Modern football is like that (not depending on strikers to score goals). We must work hard to score from all positions/angles, we have a very good squad and I am very happy with their performance so far,” he added.
After games against Mathare United, Posta Rangers and KCB FC, Gor Mahia’s attention now turns to the weekend where they have a date against Nairobi City Stars.
