Kenya and Namibia clash in neutral South Africa on Tuesday for their final game of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers. It's a dead rubber between the sides as both have failed to qualify for the Moroccan showpiece.
While the Harambee Stars are second from bottom with five points from five games, their rivals are last, having accrued four points fewer and failing to win any of their qualifiers.
Ranked 113th in the world, the Namibian Warriors fell way short of qualifying for the AFCON finals for a fifth time in their history. They lost their first four games before a drab goalless stalemate with Cameroon last week.
On the other hand, Kenya earned four points from their first two qualifiers, but could only manage one more from their next three as their progression hopes went up in smoke dramatically.
Last Friday, Engin Fırat's side fought back to earn a point against Zimbabwe but it was too little too late, as they missed the flight to Morocco.
Kenya vs Namibia Head-To-Head and Key Numbers

Kenya vs Namibia Prediction
Unlike their previous clashes, this holds no significance. There's nothing much at stake here besides pride, as their fates are already sealed, and neither of these teams will be competing at the AFCON showpiece next year.
In what's essentially a dead rubber, we expect a dull game as they've struggled to make a mark in the campaign.
Prediction: Kenya 0-0 Namibia
