Kenya and Mali will go on a quest for top spot in Group E of the World Cup qualifiers in Africa in a double header set to be hosted by Mali before the two nations converge in Nairobi for the return leg. With the political unrest in Mali, this game will be played in Morocco, and two points separate them, group leaders Mali on four and Kenya, placed second on two points. Mali’s last outing in this group saw them play to a 0-0 draw with Uganda in Kampala. That was the third time in five matches that they failed to score, and seventh in 10 games. Their scoring run isn’t the best going to this game and indeed nine of their last 10 matches have ended in under 2.5 goals. These two nations last met in 2004 AFCON finals in Tunisia, and Mali beat Kenya 3-1.
Kenya have changed coaches since playing their last game in this group, which ended 1-1 with Rwanda. They now have Engin Firat at the helm, with the Turkish manager hoping for a first win in his first game in charge. The East African nation goes to the clash unbeaten in six matches, and only failed to score in one of the last 10 matches – a 0-0 home draw with Uganda. Five of their last 10 matches have however produced under 2.5 goals and they have managed to score in each of their last five away matches. Seven of their last 10 away matches have produced under 2.5 goals.

Our Mali vs Kenya Prediction
Mali are stronger than Kenya going to this game but the fact that they play away from home may be an advantage to Kenya, who haven’t lost a lot of matches recently. This game pits two goal shy sides and most of their matches have produced under 2.5 goals. We are backing this too to end in under 2.5 goals but given the profile of players across the two sides, Mali are very likely to win.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
