Our prediction for this Africa Cup of Nations 2024 match:
Gambia
Match Time & Date:

12:00 PM
Prediction: 3-0
South Sudan
Gambia and South Sudan face each other at Stade Lat Dior in the opening match of their Africa Cup of Nations qualifying campaign. Gambia played out a 1-1 draw with United Arab Emirates last month, but they are seen as hot favourites to beat South Sudan in front of home fans. The opposition defender should have Bologna forward Musa Barrow at bay.
The Bright Stars, on the other hand, defeated Djibouti 1-0 in their last competitive game, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry against Gambia. David faces Goliath at Stade Lat Dior, meaning that anything but a routine home win would be a major surprise. In their last meeting on the international stage (October 2021) Gambia defeated Sudan 2-1. Atlanta United striker Machop Chol will be one of the men to keep an eye on in the away side.
