Ivory Coast vs Kenya Prediction
The Ivory Coast come into this one on the back of sitting at the top of their group, two points clear of a strong Gabon side. They hammered the Seychelles by seven goals to nil the other day. Les Elephants have yet to concede a goal in qualification as they try and return to the FIFA World Cup next summer.
Kenya come into this one on the back of a slender 1-0 loss to Burundi in their most recent outing last week. The Kenyans have managed three victories, three draws and three defeats in their nine qualifiers. They have perhaps been more entertaining to watch than was to be expected in this campaign.
Kenya head to Abidjan looking to try and be stubborn and competitive but the Ivory Coast should finally reach the 48-team tournament next summer.
Ivory Coast vs Kenya Tip: Ivory Coast to win to nil
