The Leone Stars head into this game after a disappointing outing at the just concluded AFCON tournament, they managed just two points in three matches and failed to qualify for the next round.

They managed to grab some vital points against Ivory Coast and Algeria respectively but failed to defeat Equatorial Guinea in their last game.

Sierra Leone are presently rated 107 according to FIFA, they have acquired three points from a possible fifteen in the last five matches.

Both teams have met twice in recent times with Togo winning both legs with a (0-1)(3-1) scoreline.

Paulo Duarte has named five debutants in his 38 man squad for this friendly and will be in high spirit to tackle the Leone Stars.

This is a friendly game and home support will be significant in the final result between these two, moreover, the away team hasn't won here in their last two tries, bet on Togo to win for 1.92.

It's an open match and we expect goals at both ends as both teams have nothing to lose, bet on over 2.5 for 2.30.

A correct score of 2-1 might surface here for 9.00.

Good luck!
