Kenya
Kenya is coming from a recent clean win against Zimbabwe in the COSAFA Cup that has poured a very confident spirit to Harambe stars squad. A determination to extend this dominance is high as they get ready to meet again in the AFCON Qualifiers clash this Wednesday. Kenya has maintained at least 4 back-to-back games without losing to Zimbabwe. Despite of their positive results in the recent clashes against Zimbabwe, still Engin First does not take Zimbabwean lightly which means they will be in with all they have to extend they recent form in this coming match.
Zimbabwe
Zimbabwe has no consistence results in all competition with 7/9 winless games. They might approach this game with more defensive play to end the dominance of their host. Following the need to compel Kenya to make error that can punish them to be on highest level, Zimbabwe might engage a game that will press higher up the pitch. A note to Jairos Tapera is the limited number of goals scored by Zimbabwe whenever they are up against Kenyan. Only if he could resolve the blunt strikes, will be the perfect time to avenge their back-to-back losses to Harambee Stars.
