Sao Tome vs Sierra Leone Review: No surprises
On the FIFA rankings, Sao Tome is at the 186th position, standing between Bhutan and Laos. In the past, Sao Tome climbed to 115th place (2012) but they also experienced disappointment when pushing down to 200th place (2007).
In the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying, Sao Tome is in Group A with Nigeria, Guinea-Bissau and Sierra Leone. After 3 matches, Sao Tome has only 1 point and is at the bottom of the table (draw 1, lose 2).
If counted within the last 10 matches, Sao Tome only once triumphed, the rest drew 2, lost 7. More broadly, they won 3, drew 2, lost 15 in the last 20 matches. At home, Sao Tome lost 8 of the last 10 times to receive guests. Particularly, the last 3 matches Sao Tome have betrayed the confidence of investors.
On the opposite side, Sierra Leone is also not in really high form at the moment. However, in terms of class and quality of personnel, Sierra Leone is superior to Sao Tome. So most likely 3 points will belong to the away team.
