Chad vs Sierra Leone prediction, H2H & Probable Line-ups - November 13, 2024
Chad
In the fifth round of the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, Chad will face Sierra Leone. The match will take place in Abidjan on Wednesday, November 13, kicking off at 20:00 Central European Time. My recommendation is to bet on the match winner.
Match Preview
The Chad national team is a modest side by African football standards. They have never qualified for the Africa Cup of Nations, and it seems likely that this streak will continue for the upcoming tournament.
In their qualifying group, Chad sits in last place without a single win, having managed only two draws. Theoretically, they still have a chance, but even two wins in their remaining games may not be enough to secure their first-ever spot in the Africa Cup of Nations finals.
Sierra Leone is only slightly stronger than their next opponent, but they have recent experience competing in the continental tournament. Their qualification hopes will likely hinge on their final game against Zambia.
In their previous match, Sierra Leone surprisingly defeated the Ivory Coast, which has boosted their confidence ahead of these crucial qualifiers. Nothing less than a win will satisfy them in the game against Chad.
Match Facts
- Chad has not won in their last six matches.

Prediction
The visitors are considered favorites, and a victory here would end Chad’s hopes in this qualification cycle. I suggest betting on a win for Sierra Leone.
