During the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, the Nile Crocodiles impressed. After a 1-1 draw with Togo, they went on to beat DR Congo (1-0), Mauritania (2-0) and arch-rivals South Sudan (3-0). Leading Group B by two points from Senegal and three from DR Congo, Sudan have their destiny in their own hands.
Opposite them is Senegal. African champions in 2021. Finalists 2 years ago against Algeria. Sadio Mané's team-mates play the leading roles in the African competitions in which they are involved. In this campaign for a 4th World Cup appearance, Senegal are 2nd in their group with 8 points, 2 less than their opponents. This face-off is crucial if they are to regain control of the group.

Sudan vs Senegal pre-game, odds and win probability
The Lions of Teranga are the predicted winners of the match at 67% and 1.42. Despite Sudan's current good form, bookmakers recognize the gap between them and Senegal. The probability of a victory for the hosts is only 9% sold at 10.5. The possibility of a draw is not to be overlooked. The odds for this option are 4.05 for 23%.
Correct score prediction: Sudan 1-2 Senegal
Senegal should win this match. Sadio Mané's team-mates are playing a team they have dominated in the past, but which has made progress. They have previously beaten DR Congo and Ghana in the AFCON qualifiers. Betting 2-1 in favor of the away team seems logical.
Players to watch: Eisa and Diao
Abo Eisa scored in the historic match against Ghana that gave Sudan its 10th AFCON qualification. The 29-year-old scored his team's first goal of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers in a 1-1 draw with Togo. At club level, the winger has scored 6 goals and provided 3 assists in 21 appearances in the Thai league.
Assane Diao, 18, is a massive talent who is raising a lot of hopes for the Senegalese team, whose effect is already feared on the continent. The Como right-winger has scored 5 goals in Serie A and will be closely watched.
Expert tip: Senegal to win or draw
Senegal have a clear advantage. But watch out for a bold and determined Sudanese team that could give the Lions of Teranga a run for their money. We recommend betting on a double chance for Senegal. Highly probable choice at 89% for a odds of 1.06.
