Yankuba Minteh, a 21-year-old winger from Brighton & Hove Albion, is leading the team and has expressed confidence in their ability to win the game. Minteh played a key role in Brighton's 2-1 win over Manchester City in the Premier League, which was their second defeat of the season.

The Scorpions had a light training session at Kasarani Annexe on Tuesday to shake off jetlag and prepare for the match. According to Minteh, the team's focus is on bagging maximum points from the game against Kenya before their next match against Burundi.

Minteh believes that Kenya will enjoy the home advantage, but he is confident that the Scorpions can come out on top. "It is a good feeling to be in Kenya. I have never been here before, but I love the environment. We are here to win the game, but we know it is going to be a difficult one," he said.

Minteh also praised his teammates, including forward Musa Barrow, who plays for Al Taawoun in the Saudi Pro League. "Musa is an experienced player and he makes everything look easy for us. He is a great player to play with," Minteh said.

Gambia's coach, Johnathan McKinstry, has emphasized the importance of the game and told the players that they have a big chance to qualify for the World Cup if they win their next matches against Kenya and Burundi.

The first game between Kenya and Gambia ended in a 3-3 draw, with Minteh scoring a goal. Gambia are currently sitting fifth in the group with four points accumulated from one win, one draw, and four defeats.

The top team in each group will qualify directly for the World Cup, while the second round will feature the four best runners-up in two one-off semi-finals, followed by a final. The winner of the second round will participate in the FIFA Play-Off Tournament.

The Scorpions are determined to win the game and move closer to qualifying for the World Cup. Minteh and his teammates are prepared for the challenge and are looking forward to the match.
