THE PREDICTION
A rearranged match due to COVID is not an unusual occurrence anymore and should have no baring on the result but it likely will do in this one. Benin were set to be without five key men ahead of this crucial qualifier in March due to Coronavirus but CAF agreed to a postponement after they had refused to play. Sierra Leone need a 1-0 win or a two-goal victory should they concede whilst Benin would simply need to avoid defeat. Given that Sierra Leone need a match with just one goal, Benin have had six goals in total in their five matches and the fact it is likely to be tense and nervy, a low-scoring encounter is a likely outcome.
