Kenya vs Zimbabwe Prediction: Three for three for the Warriors?
Group B of the COSAFA Cup rounds off as Zimbabwe take on Kenya on Tuesday morning. The Warriors have been impressive so far, winning two out of two, and they know that a point here will confirm them as group winners.
Meanwhile, Kenya still have work to do to book their place in the knockout round, as they lost 2-0 to Comoros last time out and have three points to their name from their opening two matches. Below you can find my Kenya vs Zimbabwe prediction, featuring betting tips and odds as both teams strive to make it out of the group stage with a win.
Kenya are priced at 3/2 to win this game, with Zimbabwe available at 19/10. A draw can be backed at 9/5, BTTS is 5/4 and over 2.5 goals is 7/4.
Zimbabwe to win @ 19/10
Jairos Tapera’s men haven’t actually beaten Kenya in their last seven meetings, but I think that could all change here. Based on what we have seen so far, I think they are in a good place to do so having picked up six points from six. They beat Comoros 1-0, and when you compare that to Kenya’s 2-0 defeat against the same team, they are in a good place to beat them.
Tapera may only be the interim manager but the players seem to be enjoying their football right now, and I think they are in a strong position to get three points again, which will give them nine points out of nine in their group, and top spot. Meanwhile, Kenya just haven’t done enough to fill me with confidence, and there seems to be a lack of talent in attacking areas. I’m happy to back Zimbabwe to win this one, and continue their perfect record.
Under 2.5 goals @ 39/100
These two are not goalscoring giants. The Harambee Stars have conceded more than one goal in their last seven games in total, but I still think this game will lack goals. Each of Kenya’s last four games have seen two goals or fewer, while Zimbabwe have been the clean sheet masters, keeping two so far in the COSAFA Cup.
Their last meeting ended 3-1, but both teams had a man sent off and their last competitive meeting ended 0-0. This should be a safe bet, with both teams trying to keep their defence solid to progress.
