WAFCON: Senegal vs Kenya – Prediction & Betting Tips

Match Preview 

Kenya and Senegal arrive to continue the Group A battle in the 2026 WAFCON tournament with dampened confidence following opening defeats. The competition opener between Algeria and Senegal brought a 2–0 win for Algeria, while Kenya suffered an even more notable defeat, losing 4–0 to the home heroes, Morocco. 

The loss for Senegal came as a surprise, despite them maintaining a fair share of possession throughout the game. They simply weren’t able to convert to goals when it mattered. The Teranga Lionesses typically have good attacks and physicality and need to make use of this if they want to take their first win of the tournament.  

Kenya will be coming into today’s match with even less of a spark, as they come from a confidence-crushing loss against Morocco. While most already expected Morocco to have that edge due to the presence of the home crowd, Kenya was thought to at least challenge them a bit more. However, given their history in WAFCON with never leaving the group stages, Kenya seems to be heading toward another tournament exit.  

With both teams a little short on confidence and firepower, there’s two ways this game can go. Either they go back and forth, both hungry for their debut points, or Senegal might have that slight edge to gain themselves the victory.

Head-to-Head 

This will be the first ever meeting between Senegal and Kenya at this level, so there’s no head-to-head to back your bets on. Current form is the only real guide, and both sides have shown recent struggles, so expect a tight, low-scoring contest.

Key Betting Tips 

• Double Chance: Senegal or Draw 

• Under 2.5 Goals 

• Both Teams to Score – No 

• Correct Score Prediction: Senegal 1–0 Kenya 

Best Bet 

Under 2.5 Goals 

Both sides have struggled to find the net recently, with Senegal failing to score in six of their last 10 matches and Kenya not scoring in four of their last nine. Given the attacking issues on both sides, goals may be hard to come by.

Prediction 

Neither side has put up much of a fight recently, but Kenya’s Harambee Starlets have won only two out of their last ten games and failed to score in four of their last seven. So, while there may be a slight chance for Kenya to make some headway, Senegal’s record suggests they will come out on top this time around. Don’t forget to back your favourites and place your bet on Bet.co.za.
