Sudan vs Burkina Faso Betting Tips & Live Stream - Burkina Faso poised for victory over Sudan in AFCON clash
In an exciting Africa Cup of Nations encounter, Burkina Faso faces Sudan with both teams tied at three points. Burkina Faso is favored to advance, needing only a draw to secure second place, although they aim for victory. Despite Sudan's surprise win over Equatorial Guinea, they still struggle offensively, having suffered a heavy loss to Algeria earlier. Meanwhile, Burkina Faso, despite a recent loss to Algeria, stands strong with a good previous run. This match is crucial for both teams, with Burkina Faso expected to win and potentially triumph 1-0.
- Burkina Faso needs a draw against Sudan to advance but aims for a win.
- Sudan surprised by beating Equatorial Guinea but struggles in offense.
- Burkina Faso is favored despite a narrow loss to Algeria.
Both teams are on three points, but Burkina Faso are certainly the favourites to advance. A draw will be enough to secure second place, although they will certainly be pushing for three points. My best bet is a win to nil for Burkina Faso.

Only One Previous Encounter
Sudan beat Burkina Faso in their only previous meeting. However, that was back in 2012 and shouldn’t have a bearing on this fixture.
Sudan Struggling to Score
There were not many expectations of Sudan coming into AFCON given their horrid run of form ahead of the tournament. The tournament itself didn’t start well when they lost 3-0 to Algeria after being reduced to 10 men.
However, Sudan surprised everyone when they bounced back to beat Equatorial Guinea 1-0 in their last outing. That puts them right back in the hunt for qualification if they can avoid defeat here, although that 3-0 loss and subsequent goal difference could still prove costly.
Sudan defended well against Equatorial Guinea but offered little in attack. They relied on a 74-minute goal to secure the win after managing just one shot on target in the 90 minutes. They also only had 36% possession.
Burkina Faso to Advance
Burkina Faso started the Africa Cup of Nations with a win but not a convincing one. They came up against Equatorial Guinea who went a man down early on.
While dominant, Burkina Faso couldn’t find an opening and eventually they went 1-0 down in the 85th minute. Fortunately, two injury time goals secured the three points.
In their last match, Burkina Faso lost 1-0 to Algeria. It was a penalty that separated the two sides who looked very evenly matched throughout. However, the defeat does mean that Burkina Faso are under some pressure to win here.
Sudan vs Burkina Faso News
Sudan: It will be a surprise if Sudan qualify for the round of 16 but they do have a shot of achieving that after victory in the last match.
Burkina Faso: A big performance is required to not only get a result but to gain some confidence. I do not expect many changes to their side.
Verdict
Burkina Faso are tipped to win to nil with a 1-0 scoreline.
