Senegal vs Sudan Prediction & Betting Tips (5 September)

Senegal most certainly thought it was easily offered this group B but after 6 days, the teranga lions are only 2nd with 12 points, the equal of their opponents of the day, Sudan and a length of delay on the DRC, first of this hen. The race for 1st place and the direct qualification for the 2026 World Cup will be all the rage between these three nations. Behind, Togo, South Sudan and Mauritania are too far of far from the top of the table. Crucial match therefore for Senegal which remained on a victory against Togo in March 2-0 but also a sharing of points with Sudan outside 0-0. This summer, the 8th finalist of the last World Cup in Qatar participated in the African Nations Championship but beaten by Morocco in the Tab semi-finals. Senegal still finished on the podium by offering itself, after the fateful session of penalties, Sudan in the small final. Sudan has every interest in not losing this meeting in order to maintain hope of finishing at the minimum 2nd of this ultra-raised hen B in order to play an accession dam in the World Cup. The best would obviously be to win, take 1st place and no longer let go of these qualifiers.

As announced above, Sudan lost the 3rd place match in the African Nations Championship against Senegal on penalties during the summer. In the semi-finals, it was already at TAB that Sudan had experienced the defeat against Madagascar by evolving, however, in numerical superiority during the last 40 minutes of the meeting expected. Madagascar even equalized in overtime by playing ten against eleven ... During the March rally, Sudan toasted the Jokers while defeating South Sudan 1-1 and Senegal 1-1. 

Senegal plays very big on this September rally with Sudan (3rd) and the DRC (1st) on the program. Unfortunately, boys like Faye (Rennes), Lopy (Almeria), Habib Diallo (34 Sél, 7 goals), Sima (Brest), Assane Diao (Calcio Como) and Idrissa Gaye (Metz) were not called. We still find an ultra-competitive group with Sadio Mané (111 capes, 46 achievements), Ismaïla Sarr (Crystal Palace, 72 Sél, 16 goals), Boulaye Dia (Lazio, 34 Sél), Iliman Ndiaye (Everton), the new element of Bayern Munich, Nicolas Jackson (19 sel) without forgetting to name the Messin Cheikh Sabaly (1 goal in 4 selections). Still in Ligue 1, we find the Monegasque circles Diatta (47 Sél) and Lamine Camara (4 goals, 20 selections), the Nice Diouf (goalkeeper) and Antoine Mendy (3 capes) and the Lyonnais Moussa Niakhaté (18 selections). The crucial Gana Gueye (Everton, 116 selections), Pape Gueye (Villarreal) and Koulibaly (al-Hilal) are present as well as the excellent midfielder of Rayo Vallecano Pathé Ciss or the left side Jakobs (Galatasaray).

No player summoned at the heart of this Sudan list does not evolve in Europe or in a second-class minor. We find a homogeneity which clearly makes the strength of this selection with in particular the striker Seif Teiri (10 goals in 41 selections) and the framework environments Abdalla (72 selections), Khedr (54 selections) and Alrasheed (42 sel). Author of 2 goals in selection, Mohamed Eisa (10 Sél) scored his two goals as part of these qualifiers. It is also the only element to have at least scored twice in these qualifications.
