Sudan vs Madagascar Prediction 23.01.2023

• Competition: African Nations Championship
• Date: Monday, 23rd, January 2023
• Kickoff: 19:00 UK / 20.00 CET
• Venue: Olympic Stadium (Oran)

After winning a great fourth place at the World Cup in Qatar, the Moroccans surprised the football world again. This time negatively, because they refused to play in the African Nations Championship. Namely, the Algerian authorities did not allow the Moroccan Football Association a direct flight from Rabat to Constantine due to political problems between the two countries.

In that case, Group C loses one member, so instead of three, only two games will be played, where of course the first two from the group pass. The Sudan national team started this competition very badly, as they suffered a heavy defeat against Ghana (1-3) in the opening match, despite the fact that they first gained the lead. Meanwhile, Madagascar were the surprise package in the first round as they celebrated against Ghana, 2-1 and need just one point in the last round to secure the next stage of this competition.

Sudan vs Madagascar Betting Tips: BTTS

These two teams have only met twice so far. Both meetings were played within the Africa Cup of Nations. It is interesting that both Sudan and Madagascar recorded one victory each with an identical result, 3-1.

The Sudanese came to this competition in a very bad momentum. They have not felt the victory since September 2 last year when they celebrated against Djibouti (3-2) and since then they have tied seven games without success during which they achieved three draws, while the other four ended in defeat.

The popular "The Secretarybirds" have no problem with realization and scoring goals, considering that they have scored 10 goals from the last four games in African competitions. However, Burhan Tia should urgently patch the holes in the defense, because Sudan has conceded a goal in 11 of the last 12 games (including friendlies).

Madagascar, meanwhile, transferred their recent brilliant form to the African Nations Championship, as they triumphantly opened the competition, with a victory over "weakened" Ghana (2-1). It was, in fact, the seventh consecutive game in which Nicolas Dupuis's chosen remained undefeated - five triumphs and two draws.

What we can notice is that "Barea" found a great goal-scoring form before the start of this competition. They tied three games in which they packed at least two goals in the net of their opponents. But despite their offensive potential, they showed that they are very unstable defensively, conceding at least a goal in 10 of the last 13 games.

Sudan will, without a doubt, go violently from the first minute, because only a victory will bring them a placement in the next phase, while Madagascar will wait patiently for their chances and try to threaten the opponent from the counterattack, so that hopefully both teams will be offensively oriented. With that in mind, we expect open and attractive football with chances and goals on both sides.
