Kenya vs Gabon Prediction and Betting Tips | March 23rd 2025

Kenya will host Gabon at the Nyayo National Stadium on Sunday in another round of the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers. The hosts will be very keen to get a result this weekend to remain in contention for at least a playoff spot in Group F.

The Harambee Stars came back from two goals down and grabbed a 96th-minute equalizer to come away with a point in their 3-3 draw with the Gambia on Thursday but remain fourth in their group. The hosts, who are winless in their last eight games, are now a point behind third-placed Burundi and four points off Cote D’Ivoire in the playoff qualification spots despite playing a game more than both teams.

Gabon are in a much more comfortable place going into the weekend as they are sat atop the group table with 12 points from an obtainable 15 following a comprehensive 3-0 win over Seychelles on Thursday. The visitors are on course for a first-ever World Cup finals appearance and will be keen to take a step closer to history with a win when they make the trip to Nairobi.

Kenya vs Gabon Prediction

The two teams are very closely matched going into this fixture and the Harambee Stars can only hope to receive a boost from their home advantage as they seek to end their winless run.

Gabon will be confident to come away with at least a point against a side in much worse form but will need to replicate their performance from Thursday’s game to get all three points. We expect the match to end in a stalemate.

Prediction: Kenya 1-1 Gabon
