Sierra Leone will be eager to make their fourth appearance at the Africa Cup of Nations. Despite sitting third in the Group with 5 points, all is not lost as there are possibilities of Leone Stars qualification to the AFCON.
Sierra Leone needs to win the Match Day 5 against the Super Eagles to keep their dreams of making it to Cote d’Ivoire 2023 alive.
They must ensure they break a long-standing winless streak against Nigeria, having not defeated the three-time Afcon champions since their narrow 1-0 triumph in a World Cup qualifier back in 2001.
If Sierra Leone manages to defeat Nigeria and Sao Tome wins against Guinea Bissau, it will greatly enhance Leone Stars’ chances of qualification with 8 points, leaving Guinea Bissau in third place with 7 points.
Alternatively, a draw between Sao Tome and Guinea Bissau, combined with a win for Leone Stars against the Super Eagles, could also create a path to possible qualification.
However, if Sierra Leone only manages a draw against Nigeria and Guinea Bissau emerges victorious over Sao Tome, their chances of qualifying for the AFCON will significantly diminish.
Sierra Leone will be aiming to disrupt the Super Eagles’ ambitions and potentially advance their own campaign.
You cannot hing your progress in life on other people’s misadventures. It fails, most of the time
Terrible Keister has failed us. Sierra Leone will not qualify for AFCON 2023. The coach doesn’t have the tactical knowledge to win high profile matches.
I’m positive boys can shock the entire world inspite of Nigeria being the favorite,go on Leone stars make your Nation proud we believe in you guys, congratulations in advance
I think coach Keister most used all his technicalities to win that matched. Let him not allowed draw in that matched coming on Sunday. If only he wants to maintain clean sheets in the history of Sierra Leone football. So, as for we Sierra Leoneans our prayers should be win win. For me I am cock sure that our darling Leone Stars will qualified us to afcon.
Well this is out of date now because Guinea Bissau head the group on 10 points
Nothing but a win or it will be back to the drawing board . Nigeria need a drAw which is not impossible – that in effect will rule Leone Stars
Out but in football anything can happen . The stars must be at their utmost best . No margin for error
