Sudan vs Nigeria Predictions

The Super Eagles are heavy favourites heading into this clash despite losing their opener. Sudan’s form, particularly defensively, has been solid in 2025 and I believe they can get a point from this fixture.

Sudan are unbeaten in their last 7 matches.
Sudan have drawn 5 of their last 7 matches.
Sudan have seen under 2.5 goals in 6 of their last 7 matches.
Nigeria have drawn 5 of their last 6 matches.

Head to Head

Over their last five matches since 2008, Nigeria lead 4-1. There were no draws.

Sudan Form

Sudan qualified for the CHAN tournament by beating Ethiopia home and away back in December 2024. Those two results were followed by a 0-0 draw against Oman in a friendly and a 0-0 World Cup qualifying draw to Senegal.

A week later, in another World Cup qualifier, Sudan could only manage a 1-1 draw against neighbours, South Sudan. In their opening CHAN fixture on Tuesday last week, Sudan drew 1-1 against Congo.

That draw took them to seven games unbeaten, although five of those have been draws. Against Conoa, Sudan were the better side and took the lead through Musa Ali Hussein just before the half hour mark. Unfortunately, they conceded a scrappy goal four minutes from time.

Nigeria Form

Nigeria reached the CHAN with a two-legged win over Ghana. They managed to draw 0-0 away from home before beating Ghana 3-1 at home in the second leg.

That was followed by a decent run of results for the Super Eagles. They beat Rwanda away from home in a World Cup qualifier before a disappointing 1-1 home draw against Zimbabwe a few days later in the same competition.

A friendly win over Ghana followed before draws against Jamaica, Russia and Zanzibar twice. In their opening Africa Nations Cup fixture, Nigeria suffered a 1-0 defeat to Senegal. Despite having the better of possession, each side only managed a single shot on target, but Senegal scored with theirs.

Verdict

Sudan A v Nigeria A

Both these sides have been drawing plenty of games in 2025. I'm backing that trend to continue.
