Sudan vs Nigeria Prediction and Betting Tips | 12th August 2025

Sudan and Nigeria face off at the Amaan Stadium in Zanzibar City on Tuesday at the 2024 African Nations Championship, as both sides look for their first win of the campaign. Ranked 110th in the world, the Falcons of Jediane drew their opening game 1-1 against Congo.

Musa Hussien fired them in front after 29 minutes, and it seemed like that was enough to earn them all three points, but Carly Ekongo equalized with only four minutes of normal time left.

With a point in the bag, Sudan are currently third in Group D and need a win to boost their progression hopes. Nigeria are right behind them in fourth place after losing to Senegal in their first match.

The Super Eagles had managed to keep their rivals at bay for a good 75 minutes before Christian Gomis broke the deadlock for the Senegalese, which earned them all three points.

Making their first appearance in the Championship since 2018, Nigeria have a good record at the tournament, progressing from the group stages twice in three previous attempts. In 2016, the West African giants bowed out in the first round after winning just once in the group stages.
