Zimbabwe vs Kenya Predictions
The hosts are looking rejuvenated thanks to a rock-solid defence. Kenya need a win here but I’m backing them to lose without scoring.

Head to Head
Kenya hold a 3-0 lead over Zimbabwe across five meetings with two draws.
The sides played out a 0-0 draw in the reverse fixture in September.
Zimbabwe Form
Zimbabwe will qualify for the AFCON with a draw here. German coach Michael Nees has overseen a big improvement since taking over.
They played out two 0-0 draws in September’s FIFA break in AFCON qualifiers, drawing away to Kenya and vs Comoros at home.
They edged closer to qualifying after beating Kenya 1-0 away from home. A 3-1 home win over Namibia in their last qualifier preceded two CHAN defeats with a squad of fringe players.
Zimbabwe Injuries & Team News
SuperSport United forward Terrence Dzvukamanja and former Kaizer Chiefs forward Khama Billiat are included. Brendan Galloway misses out in defence due to injury.
The rest of the squad is largely unchanged. Young winger Daniel Msendami could start again.
Goalkeepers: Washington Arubi, Marley Tavaziva, Martin Mapisa
Defenders: Divine Lunga, Gerald Takwara, Munashe Garananga, Godknows Murwira, Emmanuel Jalai, Teenage Hadebe, Jordan Zemura
Midfielders: Marvelous Nakamba, Marshall Munetsi, Andy Rinomhota, Tawanda Chirewa, Brian Banda, Richard Hachiro
Forwards: Tinotenda Kadewere, Khama Billiat, Prince Dube, Terrence Dzvukamanja, Tawanda Maswanhise, Daniel Msendami, Walter Musona, Douglas Mapfumo
Kenya Form
Kenya need a win here to keep qualification hopes alive. They have four points from four qualifiers.
A 0-0 home draw vs Zimbabwe kicked things off, before winning 2-1 away vs Namibia. A 4-1 thrashing followed away to Cameroon.
A 1-0 home loss to Cameroon gave them only a remote chance of qualifying. They have played two recent CHAN matches with local players which has little relevance to their form.
Kenya Injuries & Team News
Coach Engin Firat has named a physical squad for this match. Richards Bay’s Ian Otieno is set to play in goal.
Under 20 captain Amos Wanjala gets his first callup in defence. Duke Abuya is a key man in midfield as he offers a goal threat.
Goalkeepers: Byrne Odhiambo, Faruk Shikhalo, Ian Otieno
Defenders: Daniel Anyembe, Amos Wanjala, Amos Nondi, Joseph Okumu, Johnstone Omurwa, Charles Momanyi, Eric Ouma, Abud Omar
Midfielders: Anthony Akumu, Marvin Nabwire, Duke Abuya, Timothy Ouma, Richard Odada, Austine Odhiambo, Ronney Onyango, Alfred Scriven, Leshan Mootian, Adam Wilson
Forwards: Michael Olunga, Jonah Ayunga, John Avire
Verdict
I'm backing Zimbabwe to win this match with a clean sheet.
