THE TEAM NEWS

KENYA

  • Kenya failed to get a shot on target as they fell to defeat in their opening clash of the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations against Algeria and will have to respond quickly if they are to have a chance of progressing to the knockout stages.
  • They were poor for large spells and did not do enough with their share of the ball as Algeria looked threatening every time they got forward with Kenya needing to improve on both sides of the ball.
  • Kenya never looked like getting in to the game and after going in two goals behind at the break against Algeria, the game was over before half-time with Kenya coach Sebastien Migne likely to make changes with Francis Kahata’s place in the side in jeopardy.

TANZANIA

  • Tanzania were never expected to get anything out of their opening game of the Africa Cup of Nations and that proved to be the case as they were outclassed by one of the pre-tournament favourites in Senegal.
  • The Senegalese made light work of the Tanzanians and in truth, the 2-0 scoreline did not really reflect how the game unfolded with Tanzania failing to offer anything in front of goal with them failing to get a single shot on target.
  • Tanzania coach Emmanuel Amuneke has said his side looked nervous in their opening game and the change he made when he took Feisal Salum Abdalla off before the break highlighted that with changes expected as a result.

THE PREDICTION

Both Kenya and Tanzania failed to have a shot on target between them in their opening matches of the Africa Cup of Nations but know they are each facing inferior opposition than they faced in those matches. They will now look to belatedly get their campaigns underway after their poor showings. Whilst they were both expected to lose, the manner of those defeats will be hard to swallow and with the teams set to have a different look to those opening matches, the team that settles the best could take the spoils although this looks like it could end in a draw with both cancelling each other out.
