South Sudan enters the AFCON preliminary qualifier with a slight edge over Djibouti, who are experiencing a poor run with losses in their last five matches. Although South Sudan has not won many recent games, they have shown strong performances against formidable teams and hold a 4-0-1 head-to-head advantage over Djibouti. With Djibouti conceding 19 goals in their last five matches, South Sudan is tipped to secure a win-to-nil victory with a projected scoreline of 2-0.

South Sudan Dominant in H2H


South Sudan lead 4-0 with one draw in their last five matches against Djibouti.

Djibouti have Lost their last Five Fixtures


Djibouti were thrashed in two international friendlies against Morocco B last November, losing 6-0 and 7-0.

Before that, Djibouti came away empty-handed in all of their FIFA World Cup qualifiers played between September and October, losing 6-0 to Burkina Faso, 2-0 to Guinea-Bissau, 3-0 to Egypt, and 2-1 to Sierra Leone. 

Riverains de la Mer Rouge have lost all of their last five fixtures. They scored one goal and conceded 19. 

Djibouti have been in a slump, losing ten consecutive matches, and they have only scored three goals during that period. Additionally, they have registered one win over South Sudan in five meetings. 

South Sudan have Performed well despite poor Results


South Sudan did not have much success in their FIFA World Cup qualifying matches between September and October last year.

They lost 4-1 to DR Congo, drew 0-0 with Mauritania, lost 5-0 to Senegal, and drew 0-0 with Togo. 

The Bright Stars have drawn two of their last five fixtures, with three defeats. They scored one goal and conceded 11.

South Sudan are winless in their last eight matches, which include five defeats and three draws. However, they will fancy their chances in their first-leg AFCON preliminary round qualifier against Djibouti, as they have defeated their opponents three times in a row.
