Kenya will welcome whipping boys Seychelles to Nairobi for a 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier on Tuesday, looking for an immediate bounce-back following a disappointing and demoralizing defeat to Gambia last weekend. The 3-1 loss to Gambia means that the Harambee Stars won't make it to the football mundial next year. The visitors, Seychelles, have never had a chance themselves, losing all seven of their World Cup qualifiers to date. They are also huge underdogs against the Kenyans who have a superior head-to-head record against the Islanders.

Kenya vs Seychelles Match Preview
Kenya: form and statistics
Benni McCarthy's Kenya went from a frustrating campaign to total despair, as the Harambee Stars were eliminated from the World Cup finals after a 3-1 loss to Gambia at home. With criticism of Benni McCarthy's tactics and selection rife in Kenya, the South African coach and his coaching crew have tried to put a positive spin on their run, blaming individual mistakes for the loss. With two games left to play, Kenya have one win, three draws and three losses in the qualifiers. They are now mathematically unable to catch the top two teams in the group. The Kenyan Football Federation has slashed ticket prices, but only a dominant win over Seychelles will pacify the disgruntled fans. The Harambee Stars have dominated the fixture with the Seychelles since they first played in the early 1990s, beating them sith multiple goals each time.
Kenya possible starting lineup:
Omondi; Onyango, Owino, Omija, Omar, Okwaro, A. Onyango, Osoro, Muchiri, Abuya, Odunge

Kenya vs Seychelles Match Prediction
In their last three matchups, Kenya has beaten the Seychelles with at least a four-goal margin. Still smarting with disappointment from their last game, the Harambee Stars will be desperate to give their fans something to smile about. A thorough spanking of Seychelles will be the only panacea for a worried fanbase. Seychelles are hapless and will get another routing after the heavy loss to Gabon on Friday. We predict a resounding home victory for the Kenyans.
