Burkina Faso and Sudan have already secured their places in the Africa Cup of Nations Round of 16, benefiting from the elimination of other third-placed teams. Both teams share identical records after the first two rounds, with one win and one loss, accumulating three points each. Burkina Faso currently holds the second position in the group, while Sudan is third. Equatorial Guinea, having lost both matches, is at the bottom and eliminated. The upcoming match will determine the final group standings, which will influence the difficulty of their knockout stage matchups. Sudan's midfield linchpin, Abu Agla, is doubtful for the match and may continue to be sidelined. The 32-year-old veteran was forced off in the first group stage match against Algeria due to injury and subsequently missed the second round. His recovery status is currently unclear. As a key player for his national team, Abu Agla has made 55 appearances, scoring two goals. In the first round, I contributed 37 touches, one shot, one tackle, one interception, and one clearance, responsible for midfield interceptions, defensive coverage, and linking offense and defense. His absence will test the resilience of Sudan's midfield. Both teams have already qualified. I anticipate a cautious approach to avoid injuries, and I favour a low-scoring match. I predict a score of 0-0 or 0-1.
