Afcon 2019: "Give us the bragging rights in Derby" – Kenyan fans anticipate Tanzania clash

Kenyans have remained optimistic that Harambee Stars will not disappoint when they face Tanzania in their second match of the Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) on Thursday.

Both Kenya and Tanzania are going into the East African Derby after losing their opener by an identical 2-0 result to Algeria and Senegal respectively.

Kenya will rely heavily on captain Victor Wanyama and striker Michael Olunga to get a win while Tanzania have their own stars in Mbwana Samatta and Simon Msuva.

The 2004 Afcon remains the best outing for Kenya’s Harambee Stars; they scored their first ever goal in the competition and went on to win their first match 3-0 against Burkina Faso.
