Djibouti vs Liberia Prediction & Betting Tips (20 March)

Whether playing at home or away, defending Liberia have been absolutely brilliant for a sustained period of time now, as reflected by the fact that their last 19 top-flight matches have yielded 13 wins and five draws. For their part, Djibouti are winless in nine league games in front of their own supporters, losing no fewer than six of these encounters.

Goals tend to be in short supply when Liberia come calling in the Africa Cup of Nations, with under 2.5 being served up in 11 of their previous 13 away matches, including in each of the last six. Given that six of the most recent eight Djibouti games at this level have also fallen into this low-scoring category, a thriller does not appear to be on the cards.

Djibouti have played four matches since securing their place in the Africa Cup of Nations, with no fewer than three of these encounters producing a clean sheet at one end of the pitch. This has also been the case in seven of the previous nine top-flight fixtures involving Liberia, so any deviation from this script would come as a bit of a surprise.
