Ireland vs Kenya Prediction: Ireland to open their campaign with a win

Ireland

Ireland played Great Britain in their last game, coming in the SVNS Hong Kong, which they won 12-28. However, that win was Ireland’s second in their last five matches, with the first against the USA. However, other encounters saw Ireland lose to Argentina twice and Fiji. Ahead of this game, Ireland have suffered more defeats in recent matches, with just three wins in their last ten matches.

Kenya

Kenya played South Africa in their last game, and they suffered a defeat. In a 17-19 in the SVNS Hong Kong, this team tied their opponent to a 12-12 draw at halftime and then lost 5-7 in the second half. Ahead of this game, Kenya have two wins in their recent matches, coming against Spain and the USA. In other encounters, Kenya lost nine times. In that run, this team played France, Great Britain, Ireland, Uruguay, Argentina and New Zealand.

Expert Betting Tips

The two teams have met a number of times, but it is just clear Ireland 7s are well ahead despite their inconsistency. However, Kenya 7s have not shown readiness, and their inability to dictate games will be a big issue to deal with. While Ireland 7's major struggles have been against top opponents, I will back them to win this game as the better team.
