The Leone Stars have had a slow start to their qualifying campaign with back-to-back defeats. They have conceded seven goals in both matches while scoring three. 

They presently sit in the last spot on the log, picking up a point from a combined nine. 

Amidu Karim, who just signed for the Leone Stars, has won once since his appointment. Sierra Leone can still make it through if they get it right against their opponent and build from there.

The Elephants maintained their unbeaten run to eleven in all competitions, scoring four times and conceding once against Sierra Leone. Ivory Coast were at the top of their game after scoring twice against Chad on the road. 

Ivory Coast began their campaign with a (2-0) victory over Zambia and secured a (0-2) win over Chad on the road.

The Ivorians have been phenomenal since they won the AFCON Championship on their home turf. 

Ivory Coast will be looking to make a statement and stamp their authority in this match. The Ivorians have a wealth of experience and quality in their squad, and we expect them to seal maximum points. 

Over their previous seven meetings, Ivory Coast have won four and drawn three against Sierra Leone. Ivory Coast are on a decent run and are yet to taste defeat under their new coach, Emerse Fae. They head here with a decent display on their ground against Sierra Leone a few days ago, creating six big chances and scoring four. 

Ivory Coast are firing from all cylinders in this tournament, and we think they’ll maintain their run here; bet on an away win and under 3.5 goals for 1.70.

We expect to see the guests score before the break for 1.53.

This game will see Ivory Coast score in both games for 2.10.

Good luck!
