Nigeria vs Sudan Predictions and Betting Tips
Following their opening fixture victory against Egypt, the Super Eagles of Nigeria would be keen on booking themselves a place in the knockout rounds as they go against Sudan on Matchday two.
The Super Eagles lead the way 8-2 on the head-to-head side of things and given the confidence boost they must've had from that win on Matchday one, win number nine against these opponents is certainly on the cards.
The Super Eagles looking like a serious outfit
Amidst all the controversy before the Super Eagles kicked off, they put out a splendid performance against heavyweights Egypt on Tuesday. Although both sides were separated by a Kelechi Iheanacho strike thirty minutes into the game, it was a decent all-around from Eguaveon's troops with the likes of Joe Aribo and Moses Simon excelling at the Roumde Adjia Stadium. This win puts them in the driving seat as they eye top spot in Group D and we could see them do just that if the Egyptians slip up against Guinea-Bissau.
One of the surprise entries in the AFCON, Sudan, have a point under their belt following a 0-0 stalemate against Guinea-Bissau. Ali Abdullah was the hero of the day as he preserved the point, saving a Guinea-Bissau penalty just eight minutes from time. Sudan, however, still have their work cut out for them as they still have the Pharaohs of Egypt to play on matchday three and as such, they would need to put an end to their 10-game unbeaten run if they're to secure a place in the knockouts just like they did back in 2012.
