On Wednesday, Sao Tome and Principe will compete against Guinea-Bissau in a qualifying match for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations at the Estádio 24 de Setembro in Bissau.
Sao Tome are at the bottom of Group A and out of the race to reach the championship game next year with just one point and three losses from four games.
Positioned 184th on the planet, the Birds of prey and Genuine Parrots Group have been truly terrible in the qualifiers, surrendering a stunning 19 objectives, remembering 10 against Nigeria for an embarrassing 10-0 misfortune on matchday two.
Their only point thus far came in a 2-2 draw with Sierra Leone, but it wasn’t enough to end their hopes of qualifying, as they lost 2-0 to the side in their next match.
In 2017, Guinea-Bissau won the continental cup for the first time, ending a long wait. Since then, they have qualified for both tournaments. The Djurtus are currently second in Group A and on their way to the championship game in the following year. This will be their fourth consecutive appearance.
Baciro Candé’s team leads Sierra Leone by two points with seven points in hand, and if the Leone Stars lose, a victory could guarantee their spot in the AFCON tournament in 2023.
