Liberia vs Sierra Leone Prediction: The home nation will not struggle

Samuel Kanyon Doe Sports Complex will host the African Nations Championship encounter between Liberia and Sierra Leone. Off to this game, Liberia secured a 2-1 win on the road in the first leg. Can Sierra Leone turn the tables?

Liberia will look to complete their job here following a 1-2 win in the first leg of this fixture. In the first leg, Liberia's Lawrence Kumeh put his side in the third minute of the game before Kalokoh Suffian’s strike leveled the score. In the meantime, an own goal in the second half was enough to seal a win for this side. However, the home side lost consecutive games before that win, with their last victory coming in June. 

Sierra Leone could not get things right in the first leg, with Alpha Kabia's own goal denying them a chance ahead of the second leg. In the meantime, the prior encounter to that defeat saw this team secure a 1-0 shocking win over African Champions Ivory Coast. In the meantime, Sierra Leone headed into this game, winning two, losing three, and drawing two of their last matches. 

Having shown character in the first leg, I expect Liberia to be at their best at home. However, while the visiting Sierra Leone will look to do better, I expect a better defensive performance. Take this game to end with few goals, while the home team takes maximum points.
