CAF World Cup Qualifiers
In the previous h2h game, Senegal dominated, winning 4:1. They had 66% ball possession, 2.46 xG, and deservedly won. Looking further back, these teams have met nine times. Senegal won six times, while the remaining games finished as draws.
When it comes to the number of goals, three of those nine games ended with three or more goals. Meanwhile, both teams scored in the same number of games (three).
Sudan team overview
Sudan are #118 in the FIFA World Ranking List. However, they appeared in the previous AFCON and did well, reaching the knockout phase. Interestingly, Senegal eliminated them 3:1 then. Unfortunately for Sudan, the start to these AFCON qualifiers has been a disaster, as they only won against Ethiopia and lost the remaining two games 4:1 against Mozambique and Senegal. Still, luckily for them, the second-placed Mozambique is only one point away after their loss to Ethiopia in the last game. Even though they are only one point away, they have a -3 goal difference against the top two teams, and reaching the top two spots will not be an easy task.
After a 4:1 loss to Senegal, coach James Kwesi Appiah spoke to the media. He said it was a difficult result to take but acknowledged Senegal's strength. The coach said he will make some changes before the upcoming game and try to approach the game differently tactically.

Senegal team overview
Senegal, the previous AFCON winners (later deducted), had mixed results in the previous World Cup. They were super close to reaching the 1/8 Finals as they had a 2:0 lead against Belgium a few minutes before the end of the match. But generally speaking, Senegal are among the best teams in Africa, and it seems they are only getting better.
At the moment, Senegal are at the top of the group with seven points, and a win here would likely secure them the top two spots, depending on the result of the other match (Ethiopia vs Mozambique).
For these games against Sudan, coach Patrick Vieira has several important absences: Mamadou Sarr, Abdallah Sima, Assane Diao, Krepin Diatta, and Ismaila Sarr are injured, while Sadio Mane is absent due to family reasons.

Prediction
These teams just met, and Senegal absolutely destroyed Sudan 4:1. Yes, the game was in Senegal, but we doubt the situation in Sudan will suddenly change only due to a home-pitch advantage.
In the last two games, Sudan allowed eight goals, and against Senegal's super-potent attack, we believe they will have massive problems once again. Moreover, looking at the previous nine games, Sudan won twice and lost seven - each time by a 2+ goal difference.
Simply, the difference in quality should be too great, and we expect Senegal to secure another comfortable win over Sudan.
3 Reasons why Senegal should win and cover the -1.5 AH spread
- Sudan lost back-to-back games to Senegal and Mozambique 4:1
- Sudan lost seven of the past nine games across competitions
- Senegal won the last three games
