Kenya coach Bobby Williamson expects a difficult match when Harambee Stars take on the Blue Sharks of Cape Verde in the first-leg match of the 2018 World Cup Qualifier at the Nyayo National Stadium tomorrow.
This will be the first time in over a decade since the two teams last met in 2003 when Harambee Stars beat Cape Verde 1-0 en route to the 2004 Africa Cup of Nations finals in Tunisia.
But since then, the Islanders have made great strides as they are currently ranked fourth, 34 places ahead of Kenya in Africa and have graced the last two editions of the continental showpiece.
