Kenya vs Seychelles match prediction, 09 September 2025

Seychelles have known their fate of not going to the 2026 World Cup since but Kenya realised this in their last game. In simple terms, both sides are out of the contention for the World Cup. Regardless, Seychelles have the worst record on Africa soil in this competition. They are a team that can beaten by any team and I expect their woes to continue. With this, I expect the hosts to dominate the game and get the goals coming in from the first half.
