Zambia vs Kenya: Harambee Stars Probable Line-up Against Chipolopolo

Harambee Stars will go in search of a third group stage win when they take on Zambia in their final group stage match at CHAN 2024 at Kasarani Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

Kenya have already sealed their place in the quarter-final and will face Tanzania if they fail to win while a meeting with Madagascar is in the offing if they secure victory and finish top of Group A.

To do that, coach Benni McCarthy will be looking to put together an attacking lineup that will get the required win and Pulse Sports predicts how Harambee Stars are likely to line up.

Ever-present between the posts, the new Gor Mahia goalkeeper has been impressive throughout the tournament and will keep his place.

Also signed by Gor Mahia this week, the former AFC Leopards full-back was impressive in a tough match against Morocco last Sunday and that should earn him another start.

Siraj Mohammed took his place in the team against Morocco but the Harambee Stars captain will likely make a return to the starting XI given his experience.

The Gor Mahia defender is yet to miss a match and will continue his fine run in the squad.

Also signed by Gor Mahia this week, the ex-Tusker defender was impressive against Morocco and should beat Alphonce Omija to the starting place against Chipolopolo.

One of the most impressive players at CHAN 2024, the youngster has given McCarthy balance in midfield and is just undroppable.

Man of the match in the opening match against DR Congo, the Gor Mahia man has dropped to the bench in the last two games but will likely be recalled against Zambia.

A surprise exclusion from the squad against Morocco, the Gor Mahia playmaker has two goals already and his chance creation and goal scoring is vital as Kenya looks for a win.

The Ulinzi Stars winger has shown flashes of brilliance while his runs down the flank have caused defenders problems and will likely be deployed again.

The winger has missed out on the starting XI since playing against DR Congo but with a need to go all out attack, he could get the nod.

The Tusker forward was the match winner against Morocco, when he scored the lone goal, and with his pace and finishing, he is a sure starter ahead of the other centre-forward options at McCarthy’s disposal.
