Namibia vs Kenya prediction

Namibia went down narrowly 1-0 away to Cameroon in their opening match of these Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers. The defeat already left them at the bottom of Group J as the only team without a point so far. They will be seeking to correct that when they play their first home game in this upcoming match. Namibia have a good home record of being unbeaten in their last 5 games there (won 2, drew 3).

It was not an ideal start for Kenya either, as they were held 0-0 at home by Zimbabwe. It comes as no surprise as Kenya were missing their captain and top scorer striker Michael Olunga who missed the game with injury. Kenya, playing their home matches in Uganda, were unable to create many chances in what turned out to be a dull affair in the end. They will need serious improvements if they are to get points on the road.

Both Namibia and Kenya have not been prolific in front of goal in recent games and their matches are generally low-scoring. Namibia scored 5 goals and Kenya only 3 goals in their last 5 matches respectively. Thus, we don’t expect many goals scored in this upcoming match either. Our Namibia vs Kenya prediction is Under 2.5 Goals.
