Algeria take on Sudan in the opening match of their Africa Cup of Nations campaign. Given the number of high-profile players in Vladimir Petkovic’s team, we predict a 1-0 home win. The Desert Warriors have established themselves as one of the best African national teams and their impressive World Cup qualifying campaign must be fueling fans with optimism ahead of Wednesday’s clash. With Algeria conceding only 0.40 goals per game of late, a low-scoring affair is on the cards at Stade Prince Moulay Hassan. Even though important midfielder Houssem Aouar has been ruled out with injury, Algeria remain hot favourites to win their 2025 AFCON opener.
The Falcons of Jediane, on the other hand, failed to impress in back-to-back defeats to Iraq and Bahrain at Arab Cup. With Sudan scoring only 0.30 goals per game overall, we do not believe that they are capable of claiming a major scalp in their Group E opener. There are no fresh injury worries in James Kwesi Appiah’s team ahead of the Stade Prince Moulay Hassan clash.
With 88% of their previous H2H meetings featuring 2 or fewer goals, Under 2.5 goals betting option should be considered, alongside Home Win and Algeria to Win to Nil as Vladimir Petkovic’s troops are a more experienced team than Sudan.
This Africa Cup of Nations 2025 match will be played on Wednesday 24 December 2025 at 15:00.
