Russia vs Kenya Prediction: The Harambee Stars stand no chance against the Russians

Russia will face off against Kenya at the Mardan Stadyumu Stadium in Turkey on Monday. Our Boys come into this encounter with a defeat in their last nine games, while Kenya will strive to bounce back following their defeat at home against lowly-ranked South Sudan.

FIFA Ranking: 39th

Last five matches: DWLDW

Since their ban by the International Olympic Committee, FIFA, and UEFA, Russia have only played with Asian and African teams. In that space, they have played nine international friendly games, winning three and sharing the spoils five times while losing once. More recently, Fedor Chalov scored the only goal that secured Russia the victory over a robust Cameroon side.

Russia have scored in their previous six games, and we expect them to at least get two goals here.

FIFA WORLD Ranking: 109th

Last five games: WLWWL

Since returning from FIFA ban, Harambee Stars have lost three and won twice. Following their (1-0) defeat against a lowly ranked Mauritius, Kenya returned to winning ways when they won over Qatar. More recently, Harambee Stars were stunned by South Sudan at home as a lone goal from Tito Okello two minutes later was enough to secure them the maximum points. Kenya have a fully fit squad to pick from, but they’ll have to be at their best to get anything from this encounter.

Kenya have won five and lost three in their last seven friendly games.

The Harambee Stars are unpredictable, and after watching their (0-1) defeat against South Sudan, tomorrow’s game might be a long ninety minutes for them. On the other hand, Russia have not been bad in recent games and head here following a more convincing performance against Cameroon. We literally believe Russia will be too strong for their opponent, and we are backing them to win for 1.66.

Both sides might settle for a halftime draw for 2.18.

A (2-0) victory might surface here for 7.50.

Good luck!
