Sierra Leone vs Nigeria takes centre stage in Freetown in the second leg of their AFCON 2022 qualifier.
The Leone Stars pulled a stunt after coming from four goals down to force the Super Eagles to a 4-4 draw last weekend
Below are 5 reasons Gernot Rohr and his men must win the match as the build-up to the competition continues
Nigeria stand a chance to relinquish their leadership on the Group L table if they fail to beat Sierra Leone in Freetown in the second leg of their 2022 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier.
Both teams played a 4-4 draw in the reverse fixture at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium in Benin last weekend.
Gernot Rohr’s men got the game off to a blistering start after scoring four goals under 30 minutes, but they went to sleep in the last 30 minutes of the game.
However, the three-time African champions have got to bounce back to winning ways away from home as they continued their quest for qualification continues.
In fact, the absence of Napoli striker Victor Osimhen who was extremely impactful in the first leg before his injury will further boost the confidence of the Leone Stars in this game.
