Away from matters Valentine’s Day, as usual fans from both sides have been exchanging friendly banter before their teams lock horns in what will definitely not be a friendly affair.

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

@AFCLeopards haven’t beaten Gor Mahia since 2016 when Lamine Diallo scored that famous goal. I have a feeling that they might just pull a surprise tomorrow #MashemejiDerby pic.twitter.com/RX4kpWb1YJ
