Guinea-Bissau will face Sierra Leone on Monday - 2023 Africa Cup of Nations Qualifiers

The qualifiers for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations continue next week and will see Sierra Leone face Guinea-Bissau at the Stade Général Lansana Conté on Monday.

Sierra Leone kicked off their qualification campaign on the wrong foot, losing 2-1 to Nigeria. The Leone Stars took an early lead via a Jonathan Morsay header before their opponents completed a comeback before the break.

Sierra Leone will be looking to bounce back from their latest result and pick up their first win of the qualifiers as they target back-to-back appearances at the Africa Cup of Nations.

Guinea-Bissau, on the other hand, kick-started their qualifiers with a solid win on Thursday as they came from behind to beat Sao Tome and Principe 5-1. With the scoreline level at the break, Baciro Cande's men displayed impressive ruthlessness in front of goal in the second-half to pick up a well-deserved three points.

Guinea-Bissau sit top of the group with maximum points and will be looking to make it two wins from two when they take on the Leone Stars on Monday.
