Liberia host Togo at the Samuel Kanyon Doe Sports Complex in Monrovia on Wednesday for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers. Their progression hopes are officially over after failing to win any of their four games in the campaign.
With just a point in the bag, the Lone Stars are currently at the bottom of Group E. It began for them with a 1-1 draw against Togo in September before losing three in a row. The 2-1 loss to Equatorial Guinea last month proved to be the last straw as it confirmed their elimination.
Ranked 149th in the world, the West African side's 22-year wait for a third appearance in the AFCON finals continued. However, they will be hoping to sign off in style and get a win on the board.
Meanwhile, their fellow West African nation of Togo are hanging by a thread. After consecutive draws against Liberia and Equatorial Guinea, the Sparrowhawks lost back-to-back qualifying matches against Algeria last month.
This has left them with just two points from four games, and they need to win both their remaining games to stand a chance of reaching the Moroccan showpiece next year.
Liberia vs Togo Head-To-Head and Key Numbers
- There have been 18 clashes between the sides in the past, with Togo winning on exactly half the occasions, and losing to their West African counterparts just four times.
- The Lone Stars last won in this fixture back in September 1994: a 1-0 win in the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers. They've gone the next nine outings against the Sparrowhawks without a win.
- The most recent two clashes between these sides have resulted in draws: a 2-2 stalemate in June 2016 and a 1-1 draw in September 2024 (both in the AFCON qualifiers).
- Excluding their 2024 African Nations Championship qualification win over Benin, Togo are winless in seven games.
Liberia vs Togo Prediction
This is a clash of two struggling teams, both of whom have failed to win any of their qualifying matches so far. Liberia's qualification hopes are over, and their results in the remaining games are meaningless. But their visitors are still in the race, and one can expect them to come out all guns blazing in search of three points.
Prediction: Liberia 0-2 Togo
