Algeria enters this Africa Cup of Nations match against Sudan as a clear favourite, backed by strong recent form and a significant disparity in team quality. Examining their recent performances, Algeria has showcased an impressive attacking prowess, consistently scoring goals against various opponents. Their 5-1 victory over Bahrain and the 2-0 win against Iraq in the Arab Cup highlight their offensive capabilities. They also demonstrated resilience by drawing with the United Arab Emirates. Sudan, on the other hand, presents a less convincing picture. While they managed a win against Lebanon and a draw against Oman U23, their losses to Bahrain and Iraq underscore their defensive vulnerabilities. The recent 0-0 draw against Algeria also suggests they might struggle to find the net against a stronger opponent. Considering Sudan's weaker form and struggles, Algeria are likely to control the game through possession and spacing. The match odds further reinforce Algeria's favouritism. The significant difference in the win-draw-loss odds (1.27 for Algeria win vs. 12.00 for Sudan win) indicates a high probability of an Algeria victory. Moreover, the Asian Handicap of -1.50 in favour of Algeria, with even odds, reflects confidence in Algeria winning by a comfortable margin. Considering Algeria's attacking form, and Sudan’s struggles, it's reasonable to predict Algeria to win this match with a score that exceeds the over/under line of 2.5 goals.
