Equatorial Guinea vs Sudan Prediction & Betting Tips (28 December)

While they thought they had achieved a big blow by opening the score at the end of the match against Burkina Faso, Equatorial Guinea suffered a huge disappointment by conceding 2 goals in added time to finally lose by a short margin against the Stallions 2-1. Consequently, it will be difficult for this team to secure one of the first 2 places in this group and it will therefore have to try to remain among the 4 best 3rds to validate its place in the 1/8 finals as it did during the last edition. During qualifying, this selection finished in 2nd position in its qualifying group, far behind Algeria which it will meet next week, but just ahead of Togo and Liberia. On the other hand, during the qualifiers for the World Cup, Nzalang Nacional was no match, only taking 5th place in its group. In November, this team was able to win against Kenya 1-0 before losing to Madagacsar 0-2. Exited in the group stage of the last two editions of the CAN, Sudan risks experiencing the same fate in 2025.

It must be said that this team suffered greatly on Wednesday for its entry into contention against Algeria 3-0, conceding the opening score in the first seconds of play. This selection therefore finds itself with its back to the wall if she hopes to get out of this pool. To qualify, the 117th nation in the Fifa ranking finished in 2nd position in its group behind Angola but ahead of Niger and Ghana. On the other hand, the Falcons of Jediane will not participate in the 2025 World Cup after finishing in 3rd place in their group, dropped by Senegal and the DRC. Last November, Sudan failed to gain confidence by losing against the Oman A team 2-0 and being held to a draw by the Oman Espoirs 0-0. 

The Guinea coach left out quite a few important elements such as defenders Mbele (39 sels), Anvene (20 sel), V.Asumu (9 sel) and M.Asumu (4 sel), the most capped player in the history of the selection Federico Bikoro (Chaves, 63 sel, 7 achievements) and the least used Jesus Mansogo (5 sel) and José Fidel Sipi (4 capes). Up front, Union Saint-Gilloise striker Makaté (3 sel) and the rather ineffective Obama (17 sel, 1 goal) are also off the list. Conversely, the Iban offensive Salvador (56 sels, 10 goals), Emilio Nsue (captain, 49 sels, 22 achievements) and Josete Miranda (50 selections, 4 achievements) appear in the list of players called up for this CAN in the same way as midfielders Pablo Ganet (58 selections, 6 achievements), Santiago Eneme (Sparta Prague, 40 caps), Jannick Buyla (Numancia, 36 caps, 3 goals). The same goes for José Machin (ex-Monza), Oscar Mascarell (Mallorca) and Pedro Obiang (Monza, 27 appearances, 3 goals). On the defensive level, the executives Owono (former Alavés goalkeeper), Akapo (47 sel), Esteban Obiang (45 sel) and Saul Coco (Torino, 32 sel, 4 goals) could start unlike Ndong (61 sel) who will be suspended after being sent off during the first day.

On the Sudan side, you have to get up early to find a known player in this team. Indeed, most of the elements summoned for this CAN play in the domestic championship. The precious environments Abdalla (76 caps), Khedr (62 caps), Raouf (48 caps), Adel (44 caps), Mohamed Ering (39 caps), Karshoum (40 caps), Khamis (35 caps) and Abdelrahman (62 caps, 23 goals) are among the executives of this selection. We must also highlight the attackers Muzmel (57 sels, 8 goals) and Mohamed Eisa (15 sels, 2 goals). Furthermore, no player on this list plays in a major European championship. Sent off against Algeria, midfielder Adil is suspended.
