Our prediction for this Africa Cup of Nations 2021 match:
Kenya
Match Time & Date:
18/11/2019
11:00 AM
Prediction: 1-0
Togo
Togo will be aiming to make amends for a 1-0 loss to Togo when they take on Kenya at Moi International Sports Centre. The Sparrow hawks are determined to get back on course, but the game against Kenya will be anything but a walk in the park for them. The Kenyans did well to hold Salah-less Egypt to a draw in their opener, which is surely giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of Monday’s qualifier.
A man to watch in the home team will be Victor Wanyama, who plays for Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League. Kenya are a real force to be reckoned with at home, and we believe that they are capable of beating Togo, who failed to impress in the 1-0 loss to Comoros in the opening match of their 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying campaign.
Highlighted Player (Victor Wanyama):
Over the years Victory Wanyama has established himself as one of the best Kenyan footballers. Wanyama started his senior career at Belgian club Beerschot and after scoring 2 goals in 51 appearances in the league for de Ratten, he moved to Celtic in 2011.
The defensive midfielder, who is very strong in the tackle, decided to leave the Hoops in 2013, signing a deal with Premier League side Southampton for a fee of £12.5 million.During his spell at St. Mary’s Stadium Victory Wanyama established himself as a first-team regular at Southampton and thanks to his thrilling displays with the Saints, Tottenham Hotspur chiefs made a tempting offer for the Kenya international.
In 2016 Wanyama signed a four-year deal with the capital club and he has been playing for Spurs ever since. The Tottenham midfielder was born in Nairobi on June 25, 1991 and he made his international debut for the Kenya national team in a friendly against Nigeria in May, 2007.
Highlighted Team (Togo):
The Togolese national football team are well known for the incident that happened at the 2010 African Cup of Nations in Angola. The Togo team bus was attacked by gunmen and it has to be noted that three men were killed during the attack. As a result, les Eperviers decided to withdraw from the tournament, but that decision proved costly for the Togolese national team.
The Confederation of African Football banned Togo from taking part in the next two editions of the Africa Cup of Nations and the Togolese Football Association were fined $50,000 as well. Speaking of their participation in the World Cup finals, Togo qualified for the 2006 FIFA World Cup, but they failed to impress in the group stages of the showpiece tournament, suffering a loss in each of their three group games against France, Switzerland and South Korea.
Emmanuel Adebayor is the most famous footballer who played for les Eperviers and you should know that the former Arsenal striker scored 31 goals in 66 appearances for the Togolese national team.
