Kenya
Kenya's national team has shown a mix of results in the qualifiers so far, securing a crucial win over Togo in their last home game. However, they have struggled to maintain consistency, especially against higher-ranked teams. The team relies heavily on their defensive solidity and quick counter-attacks to create scoring opportunities.
- Kenya has not lost in regular time in 3 of their last 4 home matches in World Cup qualifiers (2 wins, 1 draw).
- The team has kept a clean sheet in 2 of their last 3 home games in this tournament.
- In 4 of Kenya's last 5 home matches in World Cup qualifiers, the total number of goals scored did not exceed 2.
Gambia
Gambia's team has been impressive in the qualifiers, especially in their away fixtures, where they have managed to secure vital points. The team's strength lies in their attacking prowess and ability to capitalize on set pieces. Gambia is aiming to continue their strong form and secure a place in the next round of the qualifiers.
- The team has not lost in regular time in their last 5 away matches in World Cup qualifiers (3 wins, 2 draws).
- Gambia has scored at least one goal in each of their last 6 away games in this tournament.
- In 5 of Gambia's last 7 away matches in World Cup qualifiers, the total number of goals scored was over 2.5.
Kenya vs. Gambia: Match Prediction
Kenya will look to leverage their home advantage and defensive strategy to contain Gambia's attacking threats. However, Gambia's recent away form suggests they have the capability to break down Kenya's defense. This match is expected to be closely contested, with both teams having their moments.
Considering the current form of both teams, my prediction: Total under 2.5 goals
