Nigeria scored at least twice in four of their last seven games.
Nigeria are unbeaten in 12 of the 14 all-time H2H meetings.
Sudan failed to score in seven of their last eight matches.
Super Eagles should soar out of the group

After beating African heavyweights Egypt by a 1-0 scoreline in their opening game, Nigeria now turn their attention to Group D minnows, Sudan.

Nigeria lost just twice in 14 prior meetings with FIFA’s #125 ranked nation (W8, D4) and four of their last five victories against the Falcons of Jediane eclipsed a -1 handicap, suggesting this could be a walk in the park for the Super Eagles.

Victory here will seal qualification from the group, no more than what was expected from a side who reached at least the semi-final stage in 15 of their last 17 AFCON appearances.

End of the line for Sudan?

Sudan’s opening game against Guinea-Bissau was arguably their greatest chance at earning crucial points to qualify from this group, now they face the mammoth task of facing both Nigeria and Egypt, two of CAF’s most fearsome sides.

Perennial strugglers Sudan have not tasted victory in any of their last 12 games, and five of their last seven defeats during that run settled with at least a two-goal margin.

This game does not look like the one in which Sudan will bounce back with aplomb and as such, I predict a comfortable handicap-busting 3-0 victory for Nigeria as they look to book their ticket to the knockout stages.



译文(自动翻译仅供参考):

尼日利亚队在过去的7场比赛中有4场至少进了2球。
尼日利亚在历史上14次H2H会议中的12次保持不败。
苏丹队在过去的8场比赛中有7场没有进球。
超级雄鹰应该会在队伍中展翅高飞

在首场比赛以1-0击败非洲重量级球队埃及后，尼日利亚现在将注意力转向了D组的小国苏丹。

尼日利亚在之前与国际足联排名第125位的国家的14场比赛中只输了2场(W8, D4)，他们最近5场对Jediane猎鹰队的胜利中有4场的比分都是-1，这表明这对超级老鹰队来说可能是轻而易举的事情。

在这里的胜利将标志着小组赛的资格，对于一支在过去17次AFCON比赛中至少15次进入半决赛的球队来说，这并不比预期的更多。

苏丹的防线结束了?

苏丹对几内亚比绍的首场比赛可以说是他们获得关键积分进入小组的最大机会，现在他们面临着艰巨的任务，他们将面对尼日利亚和埃及，这两支CAF最可怕的球队。

苏丹队在过去的12场比赛中都没有尝到胜利的滋味，在过去的7场比赛中，他们有5场以至少两个进球的差距收场。

这场比赛看起来不像是苏丹能够泰然自若地东山再起的比赛，因此，我预测尼日利亚会轻松地以3-0战胜对手，因为他们正在寻找进入淘汰赛阶段的门票。
