Sudan vs Ethiopia prediction, H2H & Probable Line-ups – December 25, 2024
The second leg of the final stage of the African Nations Championship qualification will be played on Wednesday, featuring Sudan and Ethiopia. Can Ethiopia turn the tables after losing the first match 0-2? Here's a bet suggestion on the outcome of this match with promising odds.
Match preview
Sudan faced Tanzania in the semifinals of the African Nations Championship qualification, securing victory in a penalty shootout after both teams exchanged 1-0 home wins.
Following the clashes with Tanzania, Sudan played two matches in the African Cup of Nations qualifiers, suffering a heavy 0-4 defeat against Niger on the road and drawing 0-0 at home with Angola. Despite this, Sudan finished second in their group and qualified for the tournament.
Ethiopia, on the other hand, had little trouble overcoming Eritrea in the previous qualification stage. After a 3-0 home win, the "Abyssinian Mountain Goats" followed it up with an identical 3-0 victory on the road.
Notably, unlike Sudan, Ethiopia failed to qualify for the African Cup of Nations. Competing in a group with DR Congo, Tanzania, and Guinea, Ethiopia finished last in the standings with just four points from six matches.
Probable lineups
- Sudan: Mustafa; Agab, Koko, Karshoum, Yousif; Khidir, Al-Rashid, Said; Eisa, Abdelrahman, Thierry
