Gambia vs Kenya Prediction
Gambia have been underwhelming in qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup with just one victory and three defeats in their four matches as they now take on a Kenya side that are steady but are well adrift if the likes of the Ivory Coast and Gabon, as well as behind Burundi.
The Gambians, under the management of Northern Irish coach Johnny McKinstry, have, as mentioned, managed just one victory in qualification and that came against a Seychelles side that have lost all four of their qualifying games, in which they have consisted 22 goals, with a 5-1 demolition of Seychelles last June.
Kenya started their qualifying campaign with a loss to Gabon but they have recovered well to collect five points from a win against Seychelles and draws with reigning African champions the Ivory Coast as well as against Burundi. The Kenyans have former Moldova coach Engin Firat in the dugout.
Gambia have been a little chaotic and entertaining to watch in recent years but the control of Firat and this Kenyan side, as well as their form, makes it a tough test this week.
Gambia vs Kenya Tip: Double chance – Kenya to win or draw
