Senegal vs Sudan Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers

The previous match between them ended on level terms.
The Senegal national football team are all set to lock horns with the Sudan national football team for the matchweek 7 fixture of the CAF FIFA World Cup 2026 qualifiers. Stade Me Abdoulaye Wade is all set to witness the interesting clash.
Les Lions de la Teranga will be at home, and this is going to be an advantage for them. The Senegal national football team, in their six World Cup qualifying games, have won three and the other three have ended in a draw. Their last few results against their upcoming opponents have not been the best.
The Sudan national football team will be away from home, and this might keep their confidence levels low. They will have to step up their game a bit if they want to secure a win here. Sudan also have a similar record to the hosts in their FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
