Gabon vs Kenya - Preview & Predictions | 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifying (CAF)

KEY STATS

·        Gabon have lost only two of their last 23 FIFA World Cup qualifying matches at home (W13 D8).

·        Gabon have kept seven clean sheets in their last ten FIFA World Cup qualifying matches at home.

Kenya have lost only three of their last 12 FIFA World Cup qualifying matches (W4 D5).

THE PREDICTION

With a notably impressive and interesting midfield, Gabon will be hoping to spring a surprise in CAF qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. They have been relatively indifferent and poor, though, in the build-up to this international break with no wins in their last four matches. They now face a Kenyan side that, coached by Engin Firat, are currently ranked 110^th in the world, according to FIFA. The ‘Harambee Stars’ didn’t play for a couple of years due to a FIFA ban and they have returned with some bizarre form, winning two, drawing one and losing three but managing a draw with Russia and a defeat of Qatar. They may well pose Gabon some issues but the Gabonese should still come out on top just about.

BETTING TIP: GABON TO WIN
