Kenya vs Tanzania Prediction & Betting tips
Over the past few years, there have always been surprises in the preliminary round at the Africa Cup of Nations, which is why numerous underdogs in the various groups are still expecting opportunities for the finals this year. In Group C, however, the favorites Senegal and Algeria started as expected with sovereign victories in the 32nd Africa Cup. Despite a poor start Kenya and Tanzania can continue to solve the ticket for the final round, because the best four third place finishers from groups A to F also qualify for the knockout stages. Thus, the direct duel of the two underdogs in the second group game is groundbreaking. Kenya is in favorite role against Tanzania according to odds – pays a tip on the Kenyans too?
The offensive performance of Tanzania was disastrous for the group opener against the African Cup co-favorites Senegal. Nevertheless, the “Taifa Stars” should not be underestimated, especially since the strong offensive of the Senegalese over long distances could be kept up well. Should the Tanzanian side make an offensive strike against Kenya, then Kenya’s bid against Tanzania’s prediction of the “Taifa Stars” is quite obvious. The Kenyans also did not appear in the first group match from the best side and brought in the entire game against Algeria not a single shot on the opposing goal. Thursday night, the duel of the two group dogs will rise at 20:00 in the “Stadium of June 30”!
Kenya:
Wipe your mouth, carry on! Despite the defeat of the Africa Cup prelude, the “Harambee Stars” from Kenya continue to have the chance to reach the last sixteen. The Kenyans are expected to qualify as one of the top four runners-up, which is why the match against Tanzania is of great importance. In the last group game, the chances of Kenyans against the Senegalese selection are rather low, which is why coach Sebastien Migne is also trying everything to take three points against Tanzania.
Only for the sixth time does the Kenyan selection take part in the Africa Cup. So far, the Kenyans were always ahead of schedule on the track, the best result was at the last participation in the 2004 Africa Cup in Tunisia. The qualification was certainly optimal from the point of view of the “Harambee Stars”, especially since in only four group matches only one goal was conceded. With the home victory over Ghana Kenya had already caused a stir at the start of the African Cup qualification.
Only two of their last eight international matches have lost the “Harambee Stars”. In five of the last eight games, the zero could be kept. Most valuable player in the squad of Kenyans is Victor Wanyama of Tottenham. The 28-year-old is a deciding factor in the midfield of the Kenyan selection. In addition to his abilities as a clear winner, Wanyama also sets new standards in offense with his individual class. Wanyama celebrated seven goals in his 55 international appearances. Big changes are unlikely despite Kenya’s weak offensive image.
Tanzania:
Tanzania qualified for the second time in the history of the African Cup. The first time at the Africa Cup in 1980 was already over in the group stage. Even in this case, premature Tanzanian groups seems quite likely. The lack of quality in the offensive made itself felt in the group opener against Senegal, as the Tanzanians did not bring a single shot at the opponent’s goal. The performance of the “Taifa Stars” should not be diminished, however, especially since Senegal did despite the clear superiority against the Tanzanian defensive difficult.
The qualification for the Africa Cup was from the point of view of the Tanzanians nevertheless pleasing. With the last game against Uganda, the Tanzanians made the jump to the second group place and qualified thus before Lesotho. In the last five internationals, there was just one victory for the Tanzanian selection.
The only bright spot in the Tanzanian squad is Mbwana Samatta of the KRC Genk. The 26-year-old center forward leads his team as captain in the Africa Cup. Due to the lack of quality in midfield Samatta did not really come to the train. The Genk striker put in a sizeable season at club level, scoring 20 goals in his 28 appearances, and was a key factor in KRC Genk’s championship win. The Tanzanians, despite the miserable offensive against Senegal but defensively well defended. In the game against Kenya it is important to build on the defensive performance and to surprise Kenya.
