Kenya and Uganda go head to head in the fifth round of matches in Group E as the chase for the 2022 World Cup tickets resume. For Kenya, the journey is over, but hosts Uganda still have hopes going to this game, but they must win to keep them alive. Uganda are second in the group with eight points, six more than third placed Kenya. The hosts go to the game unbeaten in their last four matches, and have kept clean sheets in all of them. They’ve won two games in this group, both against Rwanda and their draw with Kenya earlier in this group, was the fourth straight such result in the two nations’ meetings. Each of their last five meetings have also ended in under 2.5 goals and Uganda do not have a very prolific scoring run going to this game.

Kenya are coming from two straight losses, back top back against Mali, which ended their quest for a top place finish. They are winless in four matches and have failed to score in three of their last four matches. The only time they’ve scored in the last four matches was a single goal, against Rwanda in a 1-1 draw. While they have been low scoring, they are also not very big in defence; in the last seven matches, Kenya have managed just one clean sheet. Four of their last five World Cup qualification matches have produced under 2.5 goals and they don’t boast a very strong run in the competition either. They have two wins only in their last 26 away matches in World Cup qualification. They’ve failed to score in four of the last five World Cup qualification matches.
