Although both teams are already out of the race for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, the upcoming clash between Burundi and Kenya remains a matter of pride and national honor. Fans can still expect an exciting football battle, especially as the Kenyan side enters the game full of confidence and momentum.

📅 Match Time: The match kicks off at 1:00 PM GMT.

Kenya in Excellent Form Ahead of the Match

The Harambee Stars arrive at this encounter in great spirits, having secured four victories in their last five matches. Despite a 3-1 defeat to Gambia in September, they bounced back in style with a 5-0 win over Seychelles.

With nine goals scored across their previous five games, Engin Firat’s squad has shown an impressive attacking rhythm, proving they are a serious offensive threat. Kenya’s dynamic form gives them a psychological advantage going into this showdown.

Burundi Struggling to Find Consistency

In contrast, Burundi continues to face challenges in maintaining stability and performance. The Swallows have suffered four defeats in their last five games, including back-to-back losses in September’s qualifiers — 1-0 against Ivory Coast and 2-0 against Gambia.

With only five goals scored and six conceded over the same period, Burundi’s attack seems blunt, lacking the sharpness needed to trouble strong opponents. Their recent performances underline the urgent need for improvement in both creativity and finishing.

Head-to-Head: Kenya Dominates Recent Meetings

Historically, Kenya holds the upper hand in this matchup. Out of 12 previous meetings, the Harambee Stars have claimed four victories, while Burundi has won three, with five matches ending in draws.

Interestingly, Burundi have failed to defeat Kenya in their last seven encounters, recording four draws and two losses, a streak they’ll be eager to break in this fixture.
