Match facts and head-to-head history:

- The teams have met only once before: Senegal won 4-0.
- Senegal top the group, while South Sudan sit at the bottom.
Match preview:
The teams are at opposite ends of the table: the hosts are fighting for pride, while Senegal continue their confident march towards a spot in the finals.
South Sudan try to stay organized in defense, but the quality of their opponents often makes it tough to keep a clean sheet. Senegal, on the other hand, have shown consistency and composure — their powerful attack, led by European club stars, could settle the outcome as early as the first half.
The match promises to be dictated by the visitors, who will be looking not only to secure three points but also to boost their goal difference — a key factor in the race for first place in the group.
Probable lineups:
- South Sudan: Mavit, Taban, Toha, Pal, Okocha, Majak, Shol, Yuel, Okello.
- Senegal: Mendy, Diatta, Sék, Koulibaly, Diouf, Camara, Gueye, Gueye, Mané, Jackson, Ndiaye.
South Sudan vs Senegal prediction:
This looks set to be a high-scoring encounter. Senegal clearly outclass their opponents, and their attacking line alone could break through the hosts’ defense multiple times. South Sudan, playing at home, might manage to get on the scoresheet to the delight of their fans, but holding off the visitors’ onslaught will be a massive challenge.
My prediction — total goals over 3.
Senegal should score confidently, and with an open game, there’s every chance we’ll see at least four goals.
