vs Prediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

There is no league table to lean on in Africa Cup of Nations qualifying, so the recent games are what counts. Equatorial Guinea lost 0-1 to Comoros in the latest game; before that came a 1-1 with Madagascar, a 1-0 win at Kyrgyzstan, a 1-3 loss to Algeria and, further back, a 0-1 loss to Sudan. One win, one draw and three defeats. Sierra Leone lost 1-3 at Liberia in the latest game; before that they won 1-0 against the same Liberia, before that drew 1-1 at Azerbaijan and won 2-1 at Djibouti, and further back lost 0-1 to Burkina Faso. Two wins, one draw and two defeats. The only previous meeting was on 20 January 2022: Equatorial Guinea won 1-0 in Sierra Leone. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
