Nigeria battle Sudan for R16 ticket

The Super Eagles of Nigeria battles  Sudan in Group D of their second Afcon game after beating African  cup of nations records holders Egypt.

Nigeria take on Sudan at the Roumde Adjia Stadium in Group D of the Africa Cup of Nations on Saturday.

Nigeria got their Africa Cup of Nations campaign off to a fine start as they clinch a 1-0 victory over Egypt in their Group D curtain-raiser on Tuesday.

A victory for the Super Eagles against Sudan
will certainly cement their place in the knockout stages.

Nigeria possible starting lineup: Okoye; Aina, Troost-Ekong, Ajayi, Sanusi; Aribo, Ndidi; Chukweze, Iheanacho, Simon; Awoniyi

Sudan will be looking forward to uplifting its game after drawing with Guinea Bissau on Adjia Stadium on Tuesday.

Sudan head into Saturday’s game on an 11-game winless streak, losing seven and claiming four draws, and this poor string of results saw them miss out on a place in the playoffs of the World Cup and also crash out of the Arab Cup in the group stages back in December.

Sudan possible starting lineup: Abou; Elfadni, Nemer, Karshoum, Mohamedein; G Omer, Khidir, Al-Rasheed, A Omer; Nooh, Abdelrahman
