One of the matches of the 6th round of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers will be played on Tuesday in Benghazi, where the Sudan national team will host South Sudan. I suggest a bet on the outcome of this match with a good coefficient.
Match preview
The Sudan national team is showcasing impressive form in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, confidently leading Group B after five rounds. The team has collected 11 points without suffering a single defeat. In the last four matches, Sudan defeated DR Congo, Mauritania, and South Sudan, while keeping a clean sheet.
Last week, Sudan hosted Senegal at home and once again did not concede – 0:0. The team also successfully qualified for the Africa Cup of Nations. In a group with Angola, Niger, and Ghana, the team finished second, ahead of Niger by just one point.
The South Sudan national team continues to face serious difficulties, being in a prolonged playing crisis. In the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, the team has not won any of the first five matches. Only draws with Mauritania (0:0) and Togo (1:1) allowed them to collect two points, leaving them at the bottom of the group, eight points behind DR Congo.
It should be noted that the South Sudan national team also performed unsuccessfully in the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers. Nicolas Dupuis' squad lost five qualifying matches, with their only victory coming in the final round when they beat Congo at home 3:2. However, this success did not save the team from finishing last in the group.
Probable lineups
- Sudan: Mustafa; Agab, Koko, Karshoum, Yousif; Khidir, Al-Rasheed, Said; Essa, Abdelrahman, Thierry
- South Sudan: Mawit, Pal, Maker, Malish, Loki, Okocha, Taban, Yawa, Morgan, Yuel, Okello
Match facts and head-to-head
- In the first round, Sudan secured an away victory with a score of 3:0
- The "both teams to score" bet did not hit in any of the 3 matches between these teams
- The "Over 2.5 goals" bet hit in only one out of three matches
Prediction
Bookmakers give a clear advantage to the hosts and rate Sudan's victory with a coefficient of 1.45. We suggest taking "Sudan to win with a handicap (-1.0)" in this match with a coefficient of 1.65.
