Gabon Eye Success in World Cup Qualifiers
Gabon are expected to continue their impressive form in this fixture. The away side have won four of their last six, while keeping a clean sheet in five of these matches. Gabon cruised past bottom of the group Seychelles 3-0 in their last World Cup qualifying match.
Meanwhile, Kenya have hit a dry spell as they haven’t won a competitive game in their last six attempts. Excluding friendlies, Kenya haven’t won a home game since November 2021. They have now gone five competitive home games without victory.
The last time these two teams met, Gabon emerged victorious with a 2-1 win on home soil, and Thierry Mouyouma’s side could do the same in the reverse fixture.

Kenya Set for Another Goalless Match?
Even though Kenya netted three past Gambia in their last fixture, they have been struggling to find the net. While their recent scoring offers some hope, this isn’t a regular occurrence for the home side.
Before their last game, Kenya had failed to score in five out of their previous nine matches. Considering Gabon’s recent defensive record, that could continue in this fixture.
The away side have kept a clean sheet in five of their last six games, with the only exception being a loss to Morocco, the highest-ranked African nation according to FIFA.
Even though Kenya found the net three times in their last encounter, Gabon’s defensive record is considerably better than Gambia’s. This will make it tough for Benni McCarthy’s side to score.

Two Goals or Fewer in This Match
Although both teams’ recent results may suggest otherwise, such scorelines are not common in their fixtures.
Prior to their 3-3 draw away to Gambia, Kenya had gone five consecutive matches with two or fewer goals scored. There were under three goals featured in their last six home games, and three of the matches ended 0-0.
Similarly, before their 3-0 victory over Seychelles, ranked 201st by FIFA, Gabon had seen two or fewer goals scored in four of their last five matches.
Four out of the last five away matches that Gabon went on to win had two or fewer goals scored in total.
Considering Kenya’s poor scoring form and the overall lack of goal-scoring threats from both teams, it’s highly likely this fixture will result in two or fewer goals.
