Nigeria vs Sudan 15.01.2022

Nigeria put itself in a good position to not only advance to the next round of the ongoing AFCON but also to finish as group winners with a 1-0 win over Egypt in the opening match of Group D.

Kelechi Iheanacho’s 30th-minute strike made sure of all the three points for the Super Eagles-who were totally dominant on the day.

Up next are the Sudanese who held Guinea Bissau to a stalemate in their first game of the tournament.

Nigeria have dominated the recent Head-to-Head meetings between them, but they will do well to be wary of Burhan Tia’s men who could set out to frustrate the Nigerians.

The Super Eagles are favoured to win the fixture and they have one of the best attacks on the continent. Therefore, Nigeria is a good value for breaking the resolve of the Sudanese to get a two-goal margin win.
