South Sudan vs Sudan Prediction: The hosts will struggle against their neighbours

On Tuesday, the Bright Stars of South Sudan will lock horns against Sudan at the Juda Stadium. The visitors have been at the top of their game in this competition, winning two of their last three matches. At the same time, the hosts are yet to register a win since this competition began. 

FIFA Ranking: 167th

The Bright Stars have managed five wins since March 2014 and head here following a (1-1) stalemate against Togo on the road. South Sudan, who have won once over their previous ten games, were lucky to have secured a point against their opponent after Togo put the ball in their own net. 

The hostages have a lot to do in their quest to make it to the main FIFA qualifying group. The Bright Stars moved from 131st in the FIFA Ranking to 167th in recent weeks, and it’ll be tough for them to win here.

The Falcons of Jediane defied all odds when they secured the maximum points against Mauritania a few days ago. Sudan scored twice before the break to amass all the points, and they are now second on the log. Sudan have won twice and drawn once since this competition began. 

Sudan have picked up six points from a combined fifteen recently; however, they have benefited from two own goals and a penalty in this round. 

Sudan's last appearance in this competition ended with three points from eighteen, as they failed to win any of their games.

The hosts have been below par in this tournament and were lucky to have secured a point after their opponent put the ball in their own net to deny themselves the maximum points. Before then, they failed to defeat lowly ranked São Tomé in the AFCON Qualifiers, settling for a stalemate in both legs. At the same time, Sudan have been impressive lately, and that is due to the fact that six of their players play Al Hilal Omdurman. There’s synergy between them, and the team spirit is presently high. 

This game will be played on South Sudan ground, and even at that, we don’t think they possess enough firepower to see off their neighbours; bet on away win or draw and over under 2.5 goals for 1.82.

The visitors might even get a halftime victory here for 2.94.

This game will produce less than a goal in both halves for 1.65.

Good luck!
