Sudan vs Angola Prediction 18.11.2024 | AFCON

• Competition: AFCON Qualifiers
• Date: Monday, 18th, November 2024
• Kickoff: 16:00 UK / 17.00 CET
• Venue: Martyrs of February Stadium (Benghazi)

Sudan will play host to Angola at the Martyrs of February Stadium on Monday, with ambitions of clinching the Group F runner-up position in the AFCON qualification race.

Even though they had the chance to wrap things up ahead of time and head into the group finale without any worries, Sudan complicated their own situation by being blown away by Niger, conceding four goals in under an hour without reply. The unexpected setback at Stade de Kegue, luckily, did not harm their standing, as the team led by James Kwesi Appiah retained their hold on second place, but they are now required to avoid another slip-up in the group finale to punch their ticket to Morocco next year.

As the most gifted team in Group F, the Angola national team navigated the qualification stage with near perfection, collecting 13 out of a possible 15 points from five matches, earning a well-deserved spot in the final stages of the 2025 AFCON as group winners. Before the November qualifiers, the Black Sable antelopes were perfect with four wins from as many matches, but their unblemished record was tarnished on Friday when they shared the spoils with faltering Ghana in a 1-1 draw.

Sudan vs Angola Betting Tips: DRAW

Even though they know the weight of their group’s final battle, Sudan cannot afford another miss if they want to maintain their runner-up spot and book their ticket to Morocco next year. After suffering a four-goal drubbing, they’ll need to quickly erase that result from their minds in order to fully focus on their final task, but the return home brings them the necessary confidence, having won both of their home games by putting three unanswered goals past Nigeria and Ghana. 

The last encounter between these nations at Sudan’s home ground ended in a thrilling 2-2 draw in the 2012 AFCON qualifiers, and we believe neither team would mind seeing the same outcome unfold on Monday. Having topped their group, Angola heads into the final match without any pressure, though we’re sure they won’t let their near-flawless record be spoiled by a defeat, so we anticipate a low-risk contest with minimal attacking flair, which should result in a draw, a result that would see Sudan secure their spot for the 2025 AFCON.
