Equatorial Guinea vs Sudan Prediction and Betting Tips | December 28th 2025

Equatorial Guinea will face off against Sudan at Mohammed V Stadium in the Africa Cup of Nations on Sunday. Both teams are in search of their first victory in the tournament after botching their opening matches.

Equatorial Guinea vs Sudan Preview

Equatorial Guinea threw away a one-goal lead within the last five minutes of their opening match against Burkina Faso. Georgi Minoungou and Edmond Tapsoba scored one goal each late in added time to hand Burkina Faso an unexpected 2-1 victory. Equatorial Guinea must avoid another defeat to keep their AFCON hopes alive.

Nzalang Nacional probably have their best chance in this meeting and must make the most of it ahead of their final group game against in-form Algeria. Equatorial Guinea sit third in Group E on zero points. They are set to play their third-ever official match against Sudan, who will be seeking their first-ever win against Equatorial Guinea.

Sudan were crushed by Algeria 3-0 in their opener, with Riyad Mahrez claiming a brace while Bayer Leverkusen star Ibrahim Maza scored one. It will be difficult to assess the strength of Sudan using this game, due to the fact that Algeria were far superior. However, we could see a different side of Sudan on matchday two.

The Falcons of Jediane’s Ghanaian coach Kwesi Appiah is under intense pressure to deliver at the AFCON. Multiple local reports suggest he could be let go if they crash out in the group stage. Sudan had an underwhelming campaign in the recently concluded FIFA Arab Cup, prompting a lot of criticism from local pundits.
