Prediction: 1-0
South Sudan
Togo and South Sudan face each other at Stade de Kegue in what will be their first meet in a competitive match. Togo did well to hold star-studded Senegal to a goalless draw in their second group game and, as a result, the bookies see them as favourites to beat South Sudan. The good news for the hosts is that Getafe defender Djene has overcome his injury. Yet another man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Al Ain forward Kodjo Fo-Doh Laba, who has netted 19 goals in 47 appearances for Les Eperviers.
The Bright Stars, on the other hand, are still eyeing their first ever win in the World Cup qualifiers. Togo, though, are a real force to be reckoned with at home and we predict that they are going to prove their worth on the field. South Sudan midfielder Peter Chol is pushing for a start after coming as a substitute in a goalless draw with Mauritania.
Highlighted Team (Togo):
The Togolese national football team are well known for the incident that happened at the 2010 African Cup of Nations in Angola. The Togo team bus was attacked by gunmen and it has to be noted that three men were killed during the attack. As a result, les Eperviers decided to withdraw from the tournament, but that decision proved costly for the Togolese national team.
The Confederation of African Football banned Togo from taking part in the next two editions of the Africa Cup of Nations and the Togolese Football Association were fined $50,000 as well. Speaking of their participation in the World Cup finals, Togo qualified for the 2006 FIFA World Cup, but they failed to impress in the group stages of the showpiece tournament, suffering a loss in each of their three group games against France, Switzerland and South Korea.
Emmanuel Adebayor is the most famous footballer who played for les Eperviers and you should know that the former Arsenal striker scored 31 goals in 66 appearances for the Togolese national team.
