Although Sierra Leone drew their opening AFCON game, it was really impressive considering they were huge underdogs in that match. The Leone Stars have no losses in their last five games in all competitions; they’ll look to extend that streak to six games as they take on group leaders Ivory Coast.

Sierra Leone have no losses in their last five games, with a win and four draws; and while that may not seem like an impressive run of games, it’s important to note that they were underdogs in all those games. The Leone Stars have faced Algeria and Nigeria (twice) in that stretch; they even came from behind 4:0 to tie the game 4:4 in one of those clashes with Nigeria.

Sierra Leone have been a difficult team to beat, when they do lose, they keep it close; the last time the Leone Stars lost by more than one goal was in 2019. Granted, an Ivory Coast win looks good on paper; but considering how Sierra Leone have fared against some of the best teams in Africa, coupled with the fact that they haven’t lost by more than one goal in almost three years, we’re making the prediction that Sierra Leone will not lose this game by more than one goal.

Sierra Leone’s unbeaten run is due, in part, to their solid defense. The Leone Stars have not exactly been a high-scoring team; they’ve managed just one goal in their last four games. The interesting part is, Sierra Leone have not conceded in their last four games; this is more impressive considering they’ve played against teams like Nigeria and Algeria in that stretch. All of Sierra Leone’s last four games have not just gone under 2.5, but they’ve all gone under 1.5.

As a matter of fact, only one goal has been scored in those four games, that’s 0.25 goals per game on average. Considering Ivory Coast’s last two games went under 1.5, we will likely see another low-scoring game here.

Sierra Leone have been able to keep four consecutive clean sheets because they can sit back and absorb the pressure; they have struggled in front of goal too, managing just one goal in those four games. As a result, Sierra Leone’s recent games have mostly ended with the same 0:0 score line; three of their last four games ended goalless.

We should also mention that Ivory Coast have scored just one goal in their last two games; and considering The Elephants have played two goalless draws in their last eight games, we believe a 0:0 correct score is worth putting a small stake on.
