Everyone was waiting for this real test for South African coach Benny McCarthy after he took over the job of coaching Harambee Stars as the successor of coach Engin frat, who was sacked due to poor results.

Today, the new coach of Harambee Stars is preparing for a first encounter that carries great dimensions and will form the first impression, perhaps, on his work with the team as well, the match will be held today at Alassane Ouattara Ebimpe Olympic Stadium in Abidjan, Ivory Coast and will witness a good follow-up from the audience as expected.

The fans are waiting for the victory from Kenya against the Gambia, the South African man has to work to achieve a good result on a difficult field and opponent, but Harambee Stars suffered greatly in these qualifiers and their current position is the best proof of this their points tally where they got five points from four matches with the Ivorians top with 10 points, Gabon second on nine while Burundi have seven so this match, difficult, decisive, will be and also important.

Each of the two teams has a great chance of qualifying if they achieve a win in this match, while Kenya have only one qualifying win and have drawn twice, the Scorpions in the standings suffer by three points from four matches in the playoffs.
