Algeria – Sudan. Forecast and announcement for the 2025 African Cup of Nations match

On December 24, the match of the 1st round of the group stage of the Africa Cup of Nations will be held at the Stade Prince Mouli Hassan, in which the national teams of Algeria and Sudan will play. The match will start at 17:00 Kyiv time.

Algeria

The team leaves a rather contradictory impression. On the one hand, she confirmed her high level as part of the selection for the World Championship, being one of the first to get a coveted ticket. As a result, it was possible to demonstrate excellent statistics, with eight victories and only one defeat.

On the other hand, in other tournaments, Mahrez and company have shown themselves much more modestly in the last six months. So, at the African Nations Championship in August, there were many draws, both in the main round and in the playoffs, just with Sudan – and they lost to him in the end on penalties. They shared points with this opponent again in the Arab Cup this month. After winning in Bahrain and Iraq, the national team advanced to the quarterfinals… Where it was eliminated from the UAE according to the usual scenario, after a draw based on the results of post-match penalties.

Sudan

The team can be considered a dark horse. After all, its overall level is objectively low. History (zero exits to world championships and only the fourth CAN after 1976) and the results of the recently completed selection speak for this. On it, the Sudanese apparently took a fairly high third place, but they had only thirteen points in ten matches.

But at the same time, the team played at the African Nations Championship in the summer without defeat. The disappointment was that, after knocking out Algeria on penalties, they then lost series to both Madagascar in the semi-finals and Senegal in the third-place battle. At the Arab Cup, they also started with a draw, but then conceded to both Iraq and Bahrain.

Statistics of personal meetings

As already mentioned, this year the teams have already played twice. And in both cases, playing time brought draws.
