Senegal vs Sudan: Prediction and odds on the Match on 05 September 2025

The Falcons of Jediane will play their seventh game of the FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Senegal at the Stade Me Abdoulaye Wade on Friday. Sudan have been playing some decent football lately, but have a stern test ahead of their clash against a solid Senegal side. 

SENEGAL: form and statistics

FIFA Ranking: 18th 

Last five games: DDWDW

The Lions of Teranga haven’t been themselves lately, marching here with three wins across their last six FIFA World Cup qualifiers. Senegal have most especially struggled to convert their chances lately, although they have kept five cleansheet. More recently, Senegal got the job done against Togo as goals from Sarr and Boma downed their opponent. Before then, they had drawn against Sudan on the road while winning with a slim margin against Mauritania. 

Since the reign of Aliou Cisse was halted, Senegal have changed their style of play. They have won three and drawn three times in the ongoing FIFA World Cup qualifiers. In this group, Senegal have picked up twelve points from a combined eighteen, scoring eight and conceding once. 

The former African Champions are among the best teams in the continent and head here sky-high in confidence despite failing to defend their title in the previous AFCON Tournament.

Senegal Lineup

The hosts boost quality players across their ranks, and with a combination of experienced and young teams, they stand a better chance of being in these forthcoming tournaments. 

Senegal Potential Lineup (4-3-3)

Mendy—Diouf, Niakhate, Coulibaly, Diatta—Camara, Gueye, Diarra—Sarr, Jackson, Mane

Head coach: Pape Thiaw

SUDAN: form and statistics

FIFA Ranking: 110th

Last five games: DWWWD

The Falcons of Jediane jumped three places in their most recent FIFA Ranking after qualifying for the AFCON Tournament and sitting pretty confident in third spot in their FIFA World Cup qualifying campaign. Recently, they shared the spoils against their neighbours, South Sudan. Appiah’s men, who were the favorite, were so relaxed, underestimating their opponent. After waiting for more than seventy minutes to break down South Sudan, Eisa found the back of the net in the 76th minute. However, South Sudan responded with the last kick of the game, stunning their confident opponent.

Before then, they had shared the spoils against one of the best teams in Africa, Senegal, denying the star-studded side a penetration into their net. 

Sudan, who are ranked 110th in the world according to FIFA, picked up twelve points from a combined eighteen. They have been firing on all cylinders in this tournament and are just a point above DR Congo on the log. 

Sudan Lineup

Kwesi Appiah has done a good job since taking over, and I expect him to set up his side defensively against a massive Senegal attack. 

Sudan Potential Lineup (4-4-2)

Mustapha—Agab, Kuku, Saeed Ahmed, Khamis—Adil, Khudir, Abuaagla, Eisa—Thierry, Omer

Head coach: James Kwesi Appiah

Senegal vs Sudan: head to head statistics

Senegal have won three and drawn twice across their five meetings against Sudan. The reverse leg ended in a toothless stalemate, as both teams failed to utilise their chances. 

Senegal vs Sudan: head to head statistics

• Six of Senegal's previous six games have ended in fewer than two goals. A total of under 2.5 goals might surface here for a coefficient of 1.43 on the Bet365 bookmaker.
• Senegal are unbeaten in their last six FIFA World Cup qualifying games. The hosts will likely fight for all the points and score more than once here for a coefficient of 5.24 on the 1xbet bookmaker.
• Fewer than four cards have surfaced in Sudan's last nine consecutive matches. We might likely see fewer than four cards here, which are available on the Betway Bookmaker for 1.65.

Senegal vs Sudan: head to head statistics

Senegal have been defensively solid in the FIFA World Cup qualifying games, but have been below par in front of goal. The former AFCON defending champions have scored eight goals while conceding once so far, which is very unlike the Lions of Teranga. 

Meanwhile, Sudan have surpassed their expectations in this tournament, winning three and sharing the spoils three times.

This meeting hasn't been impressive in terms of goals, and Senegal have not lost in any of their last five matches against Sudan. The guests have been at their best in this tournament and are still one of the most dangerous sides in Africa. 

Senegal looked really sharp in their training, and playing on their ground will boost their confidence against Sudan. With the attacking prowess of Sane, Sarr and Jackson, Senegal won’t take it lightly against their visitors. 

My match prediction is that Senegal will win and score over 1.5 goals for a coefficient of 1.65 on the 1xbet bookmaker. 

My betting tip on this match is for this game to produce more goals after the break for a coefficient of 2.25 on the Betway bookmaker.

My final betting tip is for Senegal to win at the break at 1.64 on the Bet365 bookmaker. 

Good luck!
