Sudan's recent form has been inconsistent, with only two wins in their last ten matches, alongside three draws and five losses. This fluctuating performance, marked by a decline in form, could negatively impact the players' morale. They face a strong opponent in a match that presents considerable tactical and practical challenges. Burkina Faso, in contrast, has shown more consistent results recently, securing six wins, one draw, and three losses. They've demonstrated balanced performance in both attack and defence, and their team's confidence is on the rise. Historically, Sudan has beaten Burkina Faso once, which might provide them with a psychological advantage. However, this advantage is unlikely to fully compensate for the overall difference in team strength. Burkina Faso's recent matches reveal a team that is in good form and better equipped to handle crucial matches. Both teams currently have a full squad with no injuries, allowing the coaches to choose their best starting eleven. The home team needs to overcome internal emotional fluctuations, particularly maintaining composure during key moments. The away team has a chance to capitalise on their good form. This match is a test of both teams' tactical abilities and mental strength. Sudan's biggest challenge is to demonstrate resilience under pressure, while Burkina Faso needs to seize the opportunity to improve its competitiveness.
