Kenya, co-hosts of the African Nations Championship, face an in-form DR Congo team in their upcoming match. Kenya's recent form has been inconsistent, managing one win in their last five games. On the other hand, DR Congo has shown excellent performance, winning five games in a row while scoring ten goals. Despite Kenya's candidature as hosts, the DR Congo team appears more likely to secure a victory. Expect DR Congo to win with a scoreline of 2-1, with both teams expected to score.

Kenya Form 


Kenya are one of the co-hosts for the CAF African Nations Championship, which automatically secured their place in the tournament. 

In June, Kenya played back-to-back international friendlies against Chad, drawing 0-0 before winning 2-1. 

Harambee Stars have registered one win in their last five fixtures, including two losses and two draws. They scored six goals and conceded seven.

Kenya have made several changes to their squad ahead of CHAN, and have been prone to inconsistent performances lately, which is not ideal when facing a DR Congo side in top form.
