Chad and Sierra Leone are set to battle it out in their penultimate 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualification match at the Alassane Ouattara Ebimpe Olympic Stadium on Wednesday. Both teams will be eager to stay in contention for a place in the tournament, knowing that any misstep could dash their hopes of advancing. This high-stakes encounter will feature the Group G underdogs facing off, with each team aiming for a crucial victory that could change the course of their AFCON aspirations.

The Chad national team, known as "Les Sao," faced a tough double-header against Zambia in October. In the first match, Chad demonstrated resilience, holding Zambia to a draw after withstanding considerable pressure from the Chipolopolo. However, just days later, Chad failed to repeat the performance and fell to a narrow 1-0 defeat against the same team. This loss left Chad winless in the 2025 AFCON qualifiers, with their campaign plagued by both a lack of goals and a struggle to consistently secure points.

Throughout the qualification series, Chad's primary issue has been their inability to find the back of the net. Despite having played four games, they have yet to score a single goal, although they have only conceded a modest number of goals, with their defense performing admirably under difficult circumstances. Still, the absence of offensive power has left them at a disadvantage. For Chad, who have never reached either the World Cup finals or an Africa Cup of Nations, a loss in this match would effectively end their journey to qualify for the 2025 AFCON. Their fans hope the team can turn around their form and seize this opportunity to keep their dreams alive, with victory over Sierra Leone as their only option.

The history between Chad and Sierra Leone has been marked by relatively few encounters, but those few games have been competitive. In the first leg of this year’s AFCON qualification, held in September, the teams played to a goalless draw, with neither side able to break the deadlock. Before that, Chad and Sierra Leone split their previous two encounters, each winning one game. Notably, Chad emerged victorious in a 1-0 win during a 2015 World Cup qualifier played on home soil. Now, Chad’s head coach, Kevin Nicaise, knows that his side must claim all three points if they are to keep any hope of qualification alive.

In addition to needing a win, Chad also requires help from other teams in the group. Currently, they trail second-placed Zambia by five points, meaning that their qualification chances hinge not only on their performance but also on other results, particularly Zambia’s game against group leaders Ivory Coast. Should Chad win and Zambia fail to claim a victory, Chad’s faint hopes of securing a coveted AFCON spot will remain alive.

On the other hand, Sierra Leone are motivated by the possibility of returning to the AFCON tournament, a goal they last achieved in 2021. The Leone Stars, led by head coach Amidu Karim, come into this match on the back of an uplifting performance against one of the African continent’s top sides, Ivory Coast. In October, Sierra Leone initially fell 4-1 to Ivory Coast in the first leg of a double-header. Yet, they bounced back admirably in the second match, holding the reigning champions to a single attempt on goal. In a dramatic finish, Sierra Leone’s forward Amadou Bakayoko scored in the 85th minute, clinching a 1-0 victory and securing a vital three points for the Leone Stars. This win provided a much-needed boost for Sierra Leone, keeping their qualification hopes alive.

However, the Leone Stars face a tough task ahead, as they need to claim another win against Chad to ensure they stay within reach of qualification. Even a draw could suffice, provided that the results of the other Group G fixture, featuring Zambia and Ivory Coast, fall in their favor. Despite their victory over Ivory Coast, Sierra Leone has had a mixed qualification campaign. Their biggest challenge has been performing consistently in away games, as they have lost both of their away fixtures in this qualification series.

Adding to the difficulty is Sierra Leone’s recent history when playing away against Chad, with the last encounter on Chad’s soil ending in a defeat for the Leone Stars. This time, Sierra Leone will need to break their away-game jinx if they are to maintain their AFCON dreams. While their win over Ivory Coast demonstrates their potential, they will need to summon a similar level of performance to secure a positive result against Chad.

For Chad, securing an elusive first goal will be paramount if they are to overcome Sierra Leone. Les Sao may look to their experienced players and possible lineup changes aimed at boosting offensive capabilities. On the defensive side, Chad will need to continue their disciplined approach to limit Sierra Leone’s scoring opportunities. Head coach Kevin Nicaise may consider fielding an aggressive formation to generate chances and finally put an end to their scoreless streak.

Meanwhile, Sierra Leone’s head coach Amidu Karim will likely focus on a balanced approach, knowing that a win could provide a significant advantage. The presence of forward Amadou Bakayoko, who demonstrated his value with the decisive goal against Ivory Coast, will be critical to Sierra Leone’s chances. Karim will be looking to his team’s midfield to control the pace of the game, maintain possession, and provide service to Bakayoko in hopes of unlocking Chad’s defense.

With the match approaching, both teams are aware of the stakes. For Chad, a win represents the only way forward if they hope to challenge for an AFCON berth. Sierra Leone, on the other hand, will be striving to secure at least a point, while relying on favorable outcomes in the Zambia-Ivory Coast game to bolster their chances.

Ultimately, this AFCON qualification match promises to be a tense and competitive battle as Chad and Sierra Leone fight to keep their AFCON dreams alive. While Chad will aim to make a stand on their home ground, Sierra Leone hopes to overcome their away-game struggles and move closer to securing their first AFCON appearance since 2021. The outcome of this encounter will not only impact the immediate future of both teams but could also shape the composition of Africa’s top tournament.

As the teams prepare for what will be a defining 90 minutes, fans and analysts alike will be watching closely to see which side can rise to the occasion and continue their journey towards AFCON 2025. The stage is set for an intense showdown, with Chad and Sierra Leone ready to lay everything on the line in the quest for a coveted AFCON qualification slot.
