Sao Tome & Principe and Guinea-Bissau will face off in the fifth round of the 2024 Africa Cup of Nations AFCON qualifying tournament on Wednesday at Estadio 24 de Setembro.
After four games, the hosts are still winless, and the visitors are looking for a victory that would put them in a strong position to take second place.
On March 26, Sao Tome & Principe and Sierra Leone played each other at Stade Adrar, and despite their efforts, Sao Tome & Principe lost 2-0.

Abubakar Samura and Alhassan Koroma scored goals for Agadir in the first half, leaving Adriano Eusebio’s team with a mountain to climb.
The Central Africans are still at the bottom of their qualification group with just one point after four games, and they will require a miracle improvement to qualify for the continent’s championship game the following year.
The hosts on Wednesday must be careful not to be torn apart defensively in front of their supporters after conceding a staggering 18 goals in their last five home games.
