Sierra Leone vs Djibouti Prediction: The Leone Stars will come out unhurt

Leone Stars will square off against Djibouti at the Stade Ben Ahmed El Abdi Stadium in Morocco on Wednesday. The hosts, who have not won any of their qualifying games, will miss the services of Abdul Kabia and Tyrese Formah against one of the lowest-ranked teams in the continent. The duo was booked for a professional foul in their last qualifying game against Egypt.

Sierra Leone

FIFA Ranking: 126th

Last five matches: DDLLL

The Leone Stars have had a slow start to their qualifying campaign, a stalemate on the road against Ethiopia and a defeat at home to Egypt. They are yet to find the back of the net in this round and have conceded two goals. 

Amidu Karim, who just signed for the Leone Stars, have drawn once and lost two games.

They are still fourth on the table and have earned a point from a combined six. Sierra Leone can still make it through if they get it right against their opponent and build from there. 

Djibouti

FIFA Ranking: 192nd

Last five games: LLDLD

The guests have been below par in recent years, heading here with three victories since 2008. Djibouti have lost their last two qualifying games against Egypt and Guinea Bissau. They currently sit at the bottom of the log, having conceded seven goals over their previous two FIFA World Cup qualifiers. 

Djibouti have not won any of their last five matches in all competitions, and it’s a huge concern for coach Abdouraham Hadi. 

Expert Betting Tips

Both teams have been extremely poor in recent years; however, Sierra Leone have shown some improvement lately. The Leone Stars head here without a breakthrough in any of their last seven games but have competed against strong opponents. They’ll face off against a Djibouti team who lack depth and quality at the back.

The hosts are slightly better than the visitors; bet on a home win and under 3.5 goals for 2.07.

We expect to see more goals after the break for 2.20.

This game might end in favor of the hosts before the break for 1.95.

Good luck!
