Niger vs Sudan Prediction: Sudan to secure a huge win in Togo

Stade de Kegue, Togo, will host the Africa Cup of Nations qualifying encounter between Niger and Sudan. Off to this round five encounter, the home side will look to take their first win in the qualifiers, while Sudan will look to close the gap with Angola. How will this game unfold?

Niger

Niger are coming off a defeat to Angola, an encounter that ended 0-1. In that game, a first-minute strike by Zini was the difference, handling this team's third defeat in this qualifier. However, Niger head into this game with no victory in their first four qualifying matches. In that run, Niger lost to Sudan and Angola while settling for a 1-1 draw with Ghana. 

Sudan

Sudan are coming off an African Nations Championship encounter with Tanzania and settled for a 1-1 draw. However, the first leg ended in a 1-0 win for this team, qualifying them for the next round. In the meantime, Sudan's last encounter in the AFCON qualifier came against Ghana, and they pulled off a surprising 2-0 win. In that encounter, Ahmed Al-Tash and Mohamed Abdel Raman both found the back of the net. Heading into this game, Sudan won two and lost two of their last matches while drawing one. 

Expert Betting Tips

Niger have shown they are not ready to compete, and this game being on a neutral ground is a huge disadvantage for them. While Sudan's performances have been surprising, they will definitely look to be at their best again despite this game not being expected to be an easy one. This should be a tough game, as the two teams are expected to be at their best. Yet, I will trust Sudan to win a game that could end with few goals.
