Prediction: 0-1
Ivory Coast
Following a 1-1 draw with Burundi, Kenya will look to claim a major scalp in round 4 when they take on Group F leaders Ivory Coast on Tuesday afternoon. The Harambee Stars have a chance to overtake Gabon in second position, but they will have a mountain to climb against the Elephants. Kenya midfielder Duke Abuya should be recalled to the starting XI after scoring as a substitute in the last qualifying game, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
Ivory Coast, on the other hand, are eager to keep their 100% record intact. Emerse Fae’s men are determined to retain top position in the standings. Considering that Kenya are likely to adopt an attack-minded approach in Tuesday’s qualifier, we predict that the visitors will have a number of opportunities to seal the victory on the break. Emerse Fae is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated Gabon 1-0.
Highlighted Team (Ivory Coast):
Over the years Ivory Coast have established themselves as one of the best African teams. The Elephants won their second Africa Cup of Nations trophy in 2015, with the team beating Ghana in the final of the tournament. Ivory Coast defeated the Black Stars on penalties and it has to be noted that goalkeeper Boubacar Barry scored the winner.
A number of high-profile footballers played (or play) for the Ivory Coast national team, but, no doubt, the most notable players are Didier Drogba, Yaya Toure, Kolo Toure, Emmanuel Eboue, Salomon Kalou and Gervinho. Ivory Coast are well known for their orange kit, but they play their away games in green shirts and green shorts. Stade Felix Houphouet-Boigny is regarded as the team’s home stadium.
Didier Zokora is the player with the most caps for the Ivory Coast national team (123), while aforementioned attacker Didier Drogba is the team’s top scorer (65 goals). Drogba is the symbol of the Ivory Coast football and the former Chelsea man played for the national team from 2002 to 2014.
