Editor's Prediction
Both sides have struggled to find their rhythm in attack, but their defensive issues are even more concerning. Sierra Leone typically sit deep in competitive matches, conceding just 1.0 goals per game in World Cup qualifiers-but that figure doubles to 2.0 in friendlies. Liberia show a similar trend, letting in 1.1 goals on average in qualifiers and a worrying 2.2 in recent friendlies. Given these stats, backing over 2.5 goals looks like a logical call here.
