The second round of qualifiers for the 2022 World Cup gets underway in Africa and among the teams playing, Kenya will welcome neighbors Uganda in a Group E clash. The two will be looking to get a head start ahead of Mali and Rwanda, the other teams in the pool. Hosts Kenya have the better run going to this game, being on a four-game unbeaten run, having managed three wins in the process. Their only loss in the last eight matches was against Comoros in an away AFCON qualifier in Moroni. Defensively, Kenya aren’t the best; they have two clean sheets in their last 10 matches, but they’ve compensated for the same by scoring in each of their last 14 matches. Kenya missed out on the World Cup qualifying group stages last time out, and it means this will be their first World Cup qualifying game since 2015. Starting at home should be an advantage for Kenya, who have no loss in the last three World Cup qualification matches at home and have managed four clean sheets in five. Kenya and Uganda have drawn in the last three meetings.

Uganda are winless in four matches against Kenya, losing once. They are coming from a 2-1 away loss to Ethiopia in a friendly match, having also lost 3-2 to South Africa in a friendly match in June. This means they’ve suffered losses in each of their last five matches and are winless in seven matches. Uganda will however be hoping the return of coach Milutin Sredojevic boosts them. They’ve failed to score in three of the last seven matches and conceded two or more goals in four of their last five matches. In their last three World Cup qualification matches, Uganda are winless, but they have three clean sheets in the last five. Away from home, Uganda have one win in 17 World Cup qualification matches.
