Liberia vs Togo Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds
The visitors need a win to keep their qualification hopes alive.
As we head into the third international break of the 2024/25 season, Liberia will host Togo on the fifth matchday of the Africa Cup of Nations 2025 Qualifiers. Liberia are currently sitting in the fourth spot in Group E with just one point from their opening four matches. They are yet to register a win in this qualifying campaign. The Lone Stars have already been eliminated from the qualification race and will be playing to end their qualifying campaign on a good note.
Togo on the other hand also find themselves in a very delicate situation. They are currently placed third in the group and have only accumulated two points. Les Éperviers have drawn twice and have faced defeat on the other two occasions.
This is a must-win game for Togo to keep their hopes of qualifying for the continental tournament alive. Daré Nibombé will be under immense pressure to register a win against Liberia to catch up to Equatorial Guinea in the qualification race.
Both teams have something to play for which will make this clash unmissable for all the football fans.
KickOff:
Wednesday, November 13, 2024 at 9:30 PM IST

Form:
Liberia (in all competitions): D-W-L-L-L
Togo (in all competitions): D-W-L-L-D
Players to watch out for:
Lawrence Kumeh (Liberia)
If Liberia want to get the win, Lawrence Kumeh needs to deliver a great performance. The midfielder gave an assist the last time these two teams faced each other, which helped earn a point for his nation. Despite only being 19 years old, Kumeh has shown maturity way beyond his years and his team will be expecting a great performance from him.
Thibault Klidje (Togo)
The 23-year-old striker is the present and the future of the Togo national football team. He will be chasing his second goal for the national team after scoring in Togo’s 5-1 loss against Algeria last month. He will be under immense pressure considering the importance of the game. He can become a national hero if he leads Togo to a win against a struggling side.
Match Facts:
- The last game between these two teams ended in a 1-1 draw.
- Liberia played a 1-1 draw against Sierra Leone in their last match.
