The clash between Harambee Stars and Angola will be a masterclass and promise a fascinating tactical battle.

Having lost 2-0 to Morocco in their opener at the Nyayo National Stadium on Sunday, Angola enter this game under pressure and hungry for a good result.

Their first match showcased their style of play and how they value possession and a patient build-up. However, that was not enough to break down Morocco’s defence, who are also two-time CHAN champions.

Angola are technically sound, dominating the midfield like no other team, and they will be out to prove a point and turn that possession into goals.

Harambee Stars, on the other hand, proved to be a masterstroke against DR Congo. Harambee Stars showcased remarkable discipline, forming an impenetrable defensive wall and frustrating their opponents at every turn.

Their counter-attacking football was effective, and it is a strategy they are likely to lean on again, under the guidance of Benni McCarthy.

There is no doubt that all eyes will be on attacking midfielder Austin Odhiambo. After his decisive goal in the opener, the Gor Mahia star has become a beacon of hope for the team.

His ability to win the ball, drive forward, and link up with the attack will be critical in disrupting Angola's rhythm and launching Harambee Stars’ counter-attacks.

Angola will rely on their dynamic winger, Deivi Vieira alias Gilberto. He has a blistering pace and skill on the ball, making him a constant threat down the flanks.

Harambee Stars’ defence, which held firm against a formidable DR Congo attack, will face a huge test to contain him.

With Kenya and Morocco both sitting on three points after their respective opening victories, this game is monumental for the Harambee Stars.

A win would not only put them on the verge of qualification but also give them a psychological edge heading into their two final matches, against Morocco on August 10 and Zambia on August 17.

For Angola, this is a must-win situation. A loss would effectively end their tournament, while a draw would leave them with only a slim chance of progressing. The pressure is on, and the outcome will significantly shape the final standings of Group A.

The match between Harambee Stars and Angola is scheduled for Thursday, August 7, 2025, at 7:00 PM East African Time.

The match will be held at the Moi International Sports Centre, Kasarani, Nairobi. The match will be broadcast live on KBC Channel 1, Azam TV, and also on SuperSport via DStv and GOtv.

CHAN 2024 continues to display a celebration of Kenyan football, and a victory against Angola would not only propel the team closer to the knockout stages but also serve as a powerful testament to the talent being nurtured in the Kenyan Premier League.

Given the contrasting styles and the high stakes, the match will be a tense and tightly contested affair. Harambee Stars’ defensive resilience and Angola's struggles to find the back of the net suggest a low-scoring game.

A narrow 1-0 victory for Harambee Stars, capitalising on a quick counter-attack, seems like a fitting prediction for the match.

Harambee Stars players have shown fans their talent and determination and given them a reason to believe, especially after their victory over DR Congo.
