Kenya banks on home ground advantage

Kenya striker Allan Wanga believes playing at home will give the Harambee Stars an edge over Zambia in Sunday’s 2017 Africa Cup qualifier in Nairobi.

Kenya have never beaten Zambia in three Africa Cup qualifiers.

Wanga of Azam FC in Tanzania said beating Chipolopolo would brighten Kenya’s chances of qualifying to the Gabon AFCON.

“We have a chance this time around because we started off well.

We managed to get one point away in the first game,” Wanga told SuperSport.

“Playing at home with the fans, I think we have a chance. If we manage to get three points on Sunday it will put us somewhere,” he said.

Congo and Guinea Bissau completes Group E of the 2017 AFCON qualifiers. All the four teams in this group have a point each after drawing their day one matches in June.
