Kick-off date/time:

How to watch on TV: UK – Not televised / US – Not televised

Key Stats

  • Sierra Leone have lost only two of their last eight World Cup qualifying matches (W3 D3).
  • Ethiopia have won only one of their last 11 World Cup qualifying matches (D5 L5).

Sierra Leone vs Ethiopia Prediction

In Group A of CAF qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Burkina Faso sit second on 14 points but well adrift of Egypt at the top of the group. Behind the Burkinabe outfit, Sierra Leone have nine points from their seven games with Guinea-Bissau and Ethiopia a little behind that. Sierra Leone are five points adrift the runner up spot and a potential playoff berth, but they have just nine points to play for in qualifying.

Sierra Leone come into this one on the back of a 1-1 draw with Guinea-Bissau at Estadio Nacional 24 de Setembro in Bissau the other day. The Ethiopians have managed just one victory from their seven matches thus far.

This match is being played at the neutral venue of Samuel Kanyon Doe Stadium in Liberia, but Sierra Leone will be expected to win quite even without home advantage.

Sierra Leone vs Ethiopia Tip: Sierra Leone to win & under 3.5 goals
