Sierra Leone won the last meeting at the Siaka Steven Stadium by a goal to nil courtesy of a Kei Kamara’s goal in the FIFA World Cup 1st qualifying round 2nd September 8, 2019, after the Lone Stars had previously won at home 3-1 in the first leg.

As a result, the Leone Stars were eliminated after Umaru Bangura missed a last-gasp penalty kick to put the home side through.

Every meeting between the two nations has been competitive since November 12 1996. The two teams are coming into this contest back of a defeat. Liberia suffered a 4-0 hammering to Benin while Sierra Leone succumbed to a 3-0 beating to Togo.
