Algeria VS Sudan

In the second of the Group E matches at the 2025 African Cup of Nations, former champions Algeria and Sudan will be facing off. Algeria comes into this competition ranked among the favorites, despite their dismal showing in the past two editions. Since beating Senegal in the 2019 final for their second title, Algeria haven't been able to win an AFCON match. They will be looking to end a six-match winless run in this competition. However, three wins in five AFCON meetings with Eastern African teams will raise their hopes of doing better here. The Desert Warriors haven't lost in open play in 16 matches, winning eight times in the process. With such a run, the North Africans will hope to banish the memories of five group stage eliminations in seven AFCON tournaments.
