Prediction published on 1/3/26, 7:49 AM by Bradley Gibbs | Modified on 1/13/26 at 10:14 AM in AFCON Picks

On Saturday, during the late morning for most US viewers, the knockouts of the African Cup of Nations will begin. First to fight for a place in the quarter-finals will be Senegal and Sudan, who’ll meet in Tanger. There was never really any danger of the Lions of Teranga failing to get through the groups, and in reasonably predictable fashion, Pape Thiaw’s men topped their group, earning seven points, scoring seven goals and conceding just one in the process. It’s now time for them to roar a little louder, and let’s be honest, a game against Sudan provides the perfect opportunity to do just that.

There was indeed danger of the Sudanese players failing to reach the knockouts, but thanks to a seemingly unlikely win against Equatorial Guinea during the second round of group games, the Falcons of Jediane made it through as one of the best third-place finishers.

Senegal - Sudan: Form Analysis

In truth, the Senegalese boys got the job done during the groups without ever really getting out of second gear. They made light work of beating Botswana first time out, scoring three and conceding zero, before tying with D.R. Congo. To be honest, a tie was all they ever really needed on that occasion, and you could see that, even though they dominated. Last time out, we saw plenty of strong offensive play, with Thiaw’s men defeating Benin by a comfortable three goals to zero.

Last time out, they returned to being not quite good enough against Burkina Faso, which in all honesty, points towards a struggle against Senegal

Sudan’s first game at this tournament came against the Algerians, which was always going to be an uphill battle. They lost without ever really causing their opponents any serious problems, though Kwesi Appiah’s men were not deterred by that defeat, sticking to their task very well against Equatorial Guinea on matchday two, riding out some rough moments before pouncing in the second half. Last time out, they returned to being not quite good enough against Burkina Faso, which in all honesty, points towards a struggle against Senegal.

Senegal & Sudan Squad Analysis

The Lions of Teranga will be without the services of Kalidou Koulibaly, who was sent off last time out and is thus banned. Assane Diao is expected to miss out with injury, while Ilay Camara is another who is doubtful. Sadio Mane and Iliman Ndiaye are expected to continue in support of lone striker Nicolas Jackson, which means that Crystal Palace winger Ismaila Sarr is likely to settle for a place on the bench again.

Assane Diao is expected to miss out with injury, while Ilay Camara is another who is doubtful.

For Sudan, Abobaker Eisa is a serious doubt having been forced off early against Algeria. It is yet to be confirmed whether he has recovered or not. Salaheldin Alhassan returned from suspension against Burkina Faso, but has reportedly picked up a knock. He too could miss out.

Our Senegal vs Sudan Prediction

Let's be honest, this is a huge opportunity for the Lions of Teranga to boost their confidence ahead of the quarters by recording a high-scoring win. They've twice scored three goals at this tournament, making light work of doing so against slightly better opponents than Sudan, so do not be surprised if Thiaw's men thump their opponents here.

Our Senegal vs Sudan Pick: Senegal to Score Over 2.5 Goals.

Senegal to Score Over 2.5 Goals

Nicolas Jackson to Score

Odds +130

A game against a defensively weak Sudan team looks like a nice opportunity for Nicolas Jackson to continue his hot form. Jackson thrived against a similarly weak Botswana team during the groups, scoring two goals, taking no less than seven shots. If he starts here, expect something similar.
