Bingu National Stadium will host Friday’s World Cup qualifier between Kenya and Burundi, the two teams who are level on points in Group F. Kenya aim to build on a thrilling 5-0 win over Seychelles, but beating Burundi is easier said than done. Barring any fresh injury worries, Engin Firat is unlikely to make changes to the team that crushed the Pirates in the second group game.
Les Hirondelles, on the other hand, aim to recover from a 2-1 loss to Gabon. Anyhow, a close encounter is on the cards in Lilongwe as the two teams seem to be evenly matched at the moment. It has to be noted that under 2.5 goals have been netted in each of the previous five meetings between the two national teams in all competitions. A man to keep an eye on in the away team will be Abedi Bigirimana, who has already netted two goals in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
