Open poll and resultsSenegal vs Sudan Prediction
Former FIFA World Cup winner Patrick Vieira's first game at the helm of Senegal came back in September against Mozambique, who held the Lions of Teranga to a 1-1 draw. However, Vieira's men responded well to that setback, edging past Ethiopia by a goal to nil just four days later.
Sudan, meanwhile, undid all the good work of their 1-0 victory over Ethiopia by being thrashed 4-1 at the hands of Mozambique. Considering the offensive options at Vieira's disposal, it's hard to see Sudan's back line keeping out this Senegalese side.
Key to proceedings will likely be the red-hot Nicolas Jackson. Aston Villa's in-form striker scored Senegal's goal against Mozambique and has been on fire for his club, racking up seven goals in his last eight appearances in all competitions. It would be no surprise if Jackson proved to be the catalyst against Sudan, and backing him to find the net once again in a Senegal victory appears a shrewd move.
