Kenya vs South Sudan

Tuesday's international friendlies between Kenya and South Sudan will take place at Moi International Sports Center.

At the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, neither of the two teams has any business participating. As a result of FIFA suspending their FA, Kenya was disqualified, and South Sudan was eliminated from Group G. The teams are preparing, though, for the November 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.

In the first of their two exhibition games scheduled during the Fifa break, the Harambee Stars defeated Qatar last week. Kenya was scheduled to play their first home game of the year on Tuesday when the match in Qatar took place. With their most recent match being 1-0 in favor of the home team, Kenya hasn't lost to South Sudan yet.

In the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying matches, the visitors had a miserable season, winning just once and losing four times to end with just three points. Although it's unclear what they took away from the experience, South Sudan needs to start over. Going up against Kenya might reveal what else has to be fixed.

Bright Stars will enter this match with a losing streak of four games. However, in their previous five outings, they had one victory and one tie. We don't anticipate the tourists in Nairobi to pose a significant threat. According to coach Stefano Cusin, they will continue to build on their knowledge as "a young team."In their last five at home, Kenya has won three and lost two.Kenya has defeated South Sudan four times in a row.Kenya's last five games saw them score six goals and allow four.In their previous five road games, South Sudan has won twice and lost three times.In their last five games, Kenya has won three times and drawn twice, while South Sudan has won once and lost four times.

For the first time since November 2011, local supporters will get to watch their team. Kenya anticipates a sizable turnout during the event. Due to the ban, they haven't gone on any international assignments. The action-hungry fans would be happy with any kind of victory.

With 10 goals allowed in six games during the qualifications, South Sudan's "porous" defense came under fire. Moving forward, they will need to deal with that.

Based on recent results and home advantage, we anticipate Kenya will triumph.
