- Competition: African Nations Championship Qualification
- Date: 25th December 2024
- Kick-off: 14:00 UTC / 15:00 CET
- Venue: Martyrs of February Stadium
All eyes will be set at the Martyrs of February Stadium in Sudan on Wednesday afternoon when Sudan and Ethiopia go head to head in an African Nations Championship qualifier.
Sudan beat Tanzania 6:5 on penalties to book a place in the second round, while Ethiopia qualified automatically following Eritrea’s last minute withdrawal from CHAN.
Wednesday's game at Martyrs of February is the second meeting between Sudan and Ethiopia in just over two days. The first leg of this second-round tie was played at this same venue, with Sudan going home with the advantage after a 2:0 win. A draw will see the Falcons of Jediane book their place in the AFON Champions for the second year running, but one thing that will worry their fans is that they finished the last edition with just one win.
Ethiopia are also looking to make their second consecutive appearance at the African Nations Championship. The Walia failed to win all three of their matches at the last edition, losing two and drawing one. They also failed to score in two encounters, and their current form in front of goal is very poor.
Sudan vs Ethiopia Betting Tips: Under 2.5 goals
Wednesday’s game will be the first meeting between Sudan and Ethiopia in the African Nations Championship in over two years. That encounter ended in a 2-0 win for Sudan and the previous two encounters between the two nations also ended with under two goals.
- Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals
