Sudan – Burkina Faso Tip Africa Cup, Group E, Matchday 3 on Wednesday, 31/12/25 at 17:00
On the last preliminary round matchday of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, the starting position in Group E is clear. While Algeria can already plan for the first knockout round after two wins, Sudan and Burkina Faso are fighting in a direct duel for second place in the group.
In my Sudan Burkina Faso tip, I side with the German bookmakers and distribute the role of favorite to Burkina Faso. The West Africans have been in much better form than Sudan recently and also cut a fine figure in the narrow 1-0 defeat against Algeria.
In the normal course of the game, the nominal away team should win the game. The bet “Victory Burkina Faso” brings it at Oddset to a profitable odds of around 1.60.
Sudan vs. Burkina Faso AI Predictions:
Our AI model is also at the start between the years and serves you its very own Sudan Burkina Faso AI forecast with three additional tip alternatives.
Traditionally, there are rather few goals scored at the Africa Cup of Nations. Accordingly, the digital brain brings the bet “Under 2.5 goals” into play. The odds scratch the 1.50 mark and make perfect sense. After all, Sudan and Burkina Faso have only scored three goals in total after two matchdays.
Predicted chance of winning:
| Victory Sudan |
Draw |
Victory Burkina Faso |
| 15.9% |
35% |
49.1% |
Also interesting is the bet “Draw at half-time” at odds of about 2.10. A 0-0 at half-time wouldn’t surprise me at all. In Burkina Faso’s 2-1 win against Equatorial Guinea, all three goals were scored in the second half.
The AI recommends a result bet at the end. The 1-0 win for Burkina Faso brings it to odds of around 5.00 without an odds boost. In fact, it is also the most likely outcome for the bookmakers.
