Rwanda vs Kenya 05.09.2021

Kenya have had a solid start to the qualifiers as they look to position themselves for the long haul as they bid to make their maiden appearance at the biggest football stage. The 0-0 draw at home to Uganda wasn’t ideal but they will look to better that performance.

Rwanda though have been undergoing a reconnaissance in their football in recent years that has seen them enjoying some success in regional tournaments. They however started these qualifiers poorly with a 1-0 loss away in Mali and will be looking to get back on track here.

We expect a cagey start to this match with both sides keen on holding their respective turfs. We are therefore backing them to be level at the break.
