Côte d’Ivoire takes on Kenya this Tuesday, October 14, 2025, from 19:00 GMT in a crucial encounter for the national team's future.

Indeed, the Elephants will be aiming for victory to finish top of Group F, regardless of the outcome of the Gabon vs Burundi match. With a win, they will secure qualification for their fourth World Cup after appearances in 2006, 2010, and 2014.

Emerse Faé is expected to stick with the 4-4-2 formation he used against Seychelles, fielding Evann Guessand and Oumar Diakite up front.

On the other side, Bennie McCarthy still doesn't know if he can count on his first-choice goalkeeper, Brian Bwire. Byrne Omondi is ready to start if his teammate is ruled out between the posts.

Here are the probable line-ups for Côte d’Ivoire vs Kenya:

Côte d’Ivoire: Lafont - Operi, Agbadou, Boly, Zohouri – B. Toure, I Sangare, Kessie, Y. Diamonde - Guessand, O. Diakite.

Kenya: Omondi - Sakari, Sichenje, Owino, Harper - Okwaro, A Odhiambo - A Wilson, Abuya, W Wilson – Olunga.
