Russia, in excellent form with no losses in their last five games, is the clear favorite to win.

Prediction: Over 1.5 goals
As Russia’s national football team gears up to face Kenya, they enter the match following a recent draw against Qatar in a friendly on September 12. With a solid defense showcased in their home games, boasting five consecutive clean sheets as hosts, Russia’s confidence in the backline remains high. They aim to build upon this defensive prowess as they prepare to face Kenya and further strengthen their winning record.
On the other hand, Kenya is coming off a loss against South Sudan in a recent friendly match on September 12. Their struggle to maintain a tight defense is evident, as they’ve conceded goals in three consecutive matches. Kenya’s focus will likely be on addressing these defensive issues, seeking to bolster their performance and secure a better outcome against Russia.
