Mulee: Harambee Stars will progress to the next round of the Afcon before Senegal game

Jacob ‘Ghost’ Mulee has tipped Harambee Stars to progress from Group C at the Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) finals.

The Kenyan side is pooled alongside Algeria, Senegal and Tanzania. Mulee is the last coach to take the team to an Afcon competition (in 2004), so he is aware of the obstacles the Kenyans could face in the tournament.

“That defensive stability is key because the likes of (Michael) Olunga and (Ayub) Timbe can unlock opposition defences. I think we will beat Algeria and draw with Tanzania and qualify for the round of 16 (as best losers at least) even before our final match against Senegal,” Mulee told Nairobi News.
