Gor Mahia will take on Rayon Sports in the 2018 CAF Confederation Cup Group D match at the Moi International Sports Centre in Kenya on Sunday.

Kick-off is at 18h00 CAT.

The Kenyan champions defeated Tanzanian side Young Africans 3-2 in their previous Group D match away late last month.

Gor Mahia are sitting at the top of Group D standings having accumulated eight points from four group matches.

A victory for Gor Mahia will see them book their place in the knockout stages of the African club competition.

K'Ogalo will look to Haron Shakava and Jacques Odhiambo, who both scored against Young Africans.

Meanwhile, Rayon drew 1-1 with Algerian side USM Alger in their previous Group D game away over two weeks ago.

The Rwanda giants placed third on the group standings have accumulated three points from four group matches with two games left in the group stage.

Rayon will boost their chances of reaching the quarter-finals if they defeat Gor Mahia.

Ismaila Diarra and Eric Rutanga have both scored for Rayon in the group stage and they will be hoping to help his side win in Kenya.

Zimbabwean match referee Norman Matemera will be in charge of the match between Gor Mahia and Rayon.
