Kenya vs Seychelles: Harambee Stars Aim for Redemption

With their attacking power and the advantage of playing at home, the Harambee Stars will be looking to secure an important victory when they host Seychelles on Tuesday in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers. After a disappointing defeat against Gambia last weekend, Kenya cannot afford any mistakes against a struggling Seychelles side.

Kenya’s Struggles After the Gambia Defeat

Kenya’s 3-1 home loss to Gambia left a heavy mark. Conceding early in the first half, Engin Firat’s men were unable to turn things around despite a late goal from Ryan O’gama. With only two wins in their last five matches, Kenya’s inconsistency is evident. However, playing on home soil against one of the weakest teams in the group provides the perfect chance to bounce back, rebuild confidence, and score goals to satisfy their fans.

Seychelles’ Nightmare in the Qualifiers

Seychelles are enduring a disastrous qualifying campaign. With zero points in seven matches, 18 goals conceded in their last five games, and no victory in sight, the team continues to struggle defensively. Their latest 4-0 defeat against Gabon highlighted massive gaps at the back. Traveling to Nairobi now looks like another mission impossible for the Pirates.

Key Battle: Confidence Boost or Another Setback?

For Kenya, the objective is clear—win convincingly and rejoin the race in Group F. Striker Michael Olunga and his teammates must step up offensively, especially since Kenya have only managed five goals in five games. History favors the Harambee Stars, who have six wins and one draw in seven head-to-head matches against Seychelles.

For Seychelles, the target is more modest: avoid another heavy defeat, restore some defensive organization, and limit the damage against a stronger opponent.

Kenya vs Seychelles promises to be a decisive clash for the Harambee Stars, who must secure a dominant win to regain momentum in the World Cup qualifiers. Meanwhile, Seychelles will be hoping to avoid another humiliating result. Football fans across Africa will be watching closely as the road to the 2026 World Cup continues.
