AFCON 2025 Decider Looms as Sudan Face Burkina Faso

Sudan and Burkina Faso clash on Wednesday afternoon at Stade Mohamed V in Casablanca with a place in the AFCON 2025 round of 16 at stake. Both teams sit on three points, and this final group game should decide who finishes second behind group leaders Algeria.

Sudan arrive with renewed belief after a hard-fought 1-0 win over Equatorial Guinea, following an opening 3-0 loss to Algeria.The Falcons of Jediane are not tournament favourites, but James Appiah’s side has shown they can compete at this level. A win would boost their qualification hopes, while even a draw could still see them progress as one of the best third-placed teams.

Burkina Faso remain favourites despite a narrow 1-0 defeat to Algeria that ended their seven-game unbeaten run. With greater experience and no new injury worries, Brama Traore’s men will push for victory to reach a fourth straight knockout stage overall today.
