CIV vs KEN Dream 11 Prediction

Cote’ d’Ivoire is one of the most likely candidates to proceed in the next round as they are ranked 46 in the FIBA rankings. Kenya is ranked 111th and is yet to found its footing because they are yet to find a consistent combination. Cote d’Ivoire is a strong rebounding team and can play high-quality defense which can end up creating a ton of problems for the Kenyan team which shows the tendency to struggle on the offensive end many times. This battle is most likely going to swing in Cote d’Ivoire’s favor and it will be interesting to see how Kenya tackles their depth.
