The 2025 African Nations Championships (Chan) co-hosts, Kenya, will start their campaign on Sunday, with a game against DR Congo. These two nations will be facing off in Group A. We have a prediction for the match below.

The hosts were supposed to participate in a four-nations tournament to prepare for Chan but had to pull out in protest of the pitch quality in Tanzania.

As such, head coach Benni McCarthy will rely on his last sighting of the players in the June friendly matches against Chad. The Harambee Stars won one and drew the other of the two games staged in Morocco. In their last 11 matches, Kenya have just one win.

DR Congo are two-time former Chan winners and will be banking on that pedigree coming up against the debutants. Ahead of this match, DR Congo played buildupmatches in June, beating Mali and Madagascar.

That already makes up for more wins than Kenya’s in the last 11 matches. The latest one, a 3-1 victory against Madagascar, was the fifth straight win for Sebastien Desabre’s men.

The Frenchman, having earlier coached Uganda, will have a very good background of Kenya. Even though his foreign-based players are locked out of this tournament, Desabre will still be confident of winning the Day 1 spoils.

Our Kenya vs DR Congo Prediction

DR Congo have a more stellar history at this tournament than Kenya and come here as the favorites. Managed by a coach who knows Kenya well, the former Chan champions are expected to give a flying start. Kenya are making their first-ever appearance at this event, and they have had the smoothest of preparations.

The Harambee Stars had to pull out of a pre-planned build-up tournament and thus might lack match fitness. They could benefit from home support, but our prediction for Kenya v DR Congo is that DR Congo wins the match.
