Chad vs Sierra Leone Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds
This is a must-win game for both nations.
The Group G of Africa Cup of Nations qualifications will feature Chad hosting Sierra Leone on Matchday five. Both teams are still in the qualification race but any more slipups can prove to be fatal for both nations. Chad have accumulated two points from their opening four games so far. They have two draws and two losses, placing them fourth in the group.
Sierra Leone on the other hand are currently placed third on the table with four points. The Leone Stars have one win, one draw, and two losses from their opening four games. They can go level on points with Zambia with a win.
Both teams have faced each other once already. On Matchday one of the AFCON qualifiers, Sierra Leone hosted Chad at the Samuel Kanyon Doe Sports Complex, and the game ended in a draw.
The margin of error is very low for both teams. Both nations are under the threat of crashing out from the qualification race in case they drop any more points.
KickOff:
Thursday, November 14, 2024 at 12:30 AM IST
Venue: Alassane Ouattara Ebimpé Olympic Stadium
Form:
Chad (in all competitions): L-D-L-D-L
Sierra Leone (in all competitions): D-L-W-L-L
Players to watch out for:
Allabatna Gabin (Chad)
The 24-year-old is one of the best-performing players for the Chad national team. He is very dominant in the box and senses danger from miles away. His reflexes and positioning inside the penalty area are also some of his biggest strengths. Considering the firepower of visitors, Gabin will be given the responsibility to keep his side in the game, especially during the opening minutes.
Amadou Bakayoko (Sierra Leone)
The striker is the major attacking threat possessed by Sierra Leone. His ability to lose his marker is incredible which helps him in scoring many goals. In such a must-win game, Bakayoko needs to be at his clinical best as games of such magnitude can be determined by very small margins. The 28-year-old has shown impressive maturity in leading the line for his national team so far and a great performance will be expected from him.
