Sudan are searching for their first point of the campaign

Sudan and Guinea face each other at the neutral Stade de Marrakech in Morocco on Wednesday for a clash in the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.

The Falcons of Jediane are still looking for their first point of the campaign, having lost both their games in Group I so far.

An opening day loss to Morocco was followed by a 4-2 thumping by Guinea-Bissau a few days later, condemning them to the bottom of the standings.

Guinea, meanwhile, haven't covered themselves in glory either, drawing to Guinea-Bissau in their first and only game so far.

But they have a game in hand over everyone else in the group and winning it would boost their chances of progressing into the third round.


Sudan vs Guinea Head-To-Head

The sides have clashed only twice before, with each of them winning once.

Guinea thrashed Sudan 6-0 in an international friendly back in 2008. But the Falcons got their revenge exactly 10 years later during the 2018 AFCON, winning 2-1.

Sudan vs Guinea Prediction

Sudan, ranked 127 in the world, are the weakest side in the group. Their defense has been all over the place and they do not have the means to make up for that in attack either.

Guinea are far from the perfect side but certainly have enough in the tank to see off Sudan.

Prediction: Sudan 1-2 Guinea
