Algeria vs Sudan Head-to-Head

Algeria 0-0 Sudan Sudan 1-1 Algeria Algeria 4-0 Sudan

Algeria will be going into this game with slightly more confidence as they have seen the only win between these 2 sides and that was a heavy 4-0 win back in 2021. However, since then they have only seen draws and only managed to score a single goal against Sudan in the last 2 games. This might nock their confidence a bit when going into this match. However, they still should have the players and fire power to push the game and win with another comfortable result.

Sudan will be hoping that they can keep these good results going with 2 straight draws and one of them being a positive result as they ended up winning on penalties vs Algeria. They will be hoping that they can add a win to these results in 90 minutes for the first time, however, they will need to be careful that they don’t end up seeing a heavy loss.

Recent Algeria and Sudan Match Analysis

Algeria last 5 matches: Saudi Arabia 0-2 Algeria (A) Friendlies Algeria 0-0 Sudan (H) Arab Cup Bahrain 1-5 Algeria (A) Arab Cup Algeria 2-0 Iraq (H) Arab Cup Algeria 1-1 UAE - 6-7 Pens (H) Arab Cup

Very strong form for Algeria with us getting a bit of a preview into what this game could be like as they have faced Sudan in the last 5 matches. However, as this is now the AFCON, they will be hoping that they can change that 0-0 draw into a strong first win. With 10 goals in the last 5 games, it is likely that they do make this game into a comfortable win as they have found scoring relatively easy in the last 5 matches only not scoring in a single game and that was the Sudan match. Their defence has also been strong with 3 clean sheets something they will be hoping keeps going into this match.

Sudan last 5 matches: Oman 2-0 Sudan (A) Friendlies Sudan 2-1 Lebanon (H) Arab Cup Qualifications Algeria 0-0 Sudan (A) Arab Cup Sudan 0-2 Iraq (H) Arab Cup Bahrain 3-1 Sudan (A) Arab Cup

Not the greatest run of form for Sudan only seeing a single win in the last 5 matches and that was to qualify for the Arab Cup. Since then, they have conceded 5 goals in 3 games and only scored a single goal. This will need to be something they change if they want a chance of beating Algeria in this match however, combining this with their leaky defence, they could face a lot of problems in this match and might see another heavy loss. They will really need to focus on their defence to have a chance of getting a result in this match.

Key Players to Watch: Algeria vs Sudan

Riyad Mahrez (Algeria): While 34-years-old the winger can still add some magic to this Algerian team and with 11 goal contributions this season, he is in the form to be able to do that. He will be hoping to change the fortunes of them and help them out the group some they failed to do 2 years ago. With a goal in the last game he played for Algeria, he is very likely to add some magic and cause a lot of issues for Sudan’s defence with his technical ability and flair.

Mohamed Abdelrahman (Sudan): The striker is currently Sudan’s top scorer, and they will be hoping that he can cause some issues for Algeria when they finally get a chance to attack. They will need him to be clinical as they most likely won’t get many chances so the chances they get, they will need to take, and he will be the main man looking to take them.
