Togo
In their last match, Togo managed to secure a 1-1 draw against Benin. The result extended their unbeaten run in the World Cup qualifiers to three matches (1 win, 2 draws). However, Togo has struggled to find the back of the net consistently, scoring just three goals in their last five competitive fixtures. Currently, Togo sits third in the group standings with five points, and a win in this match will enhance their chances of advancing to the next round.
- Togo has not lost in regular time in their last 3 home matches in World Cup qualifiers (1 win, 2 draws).
- The team has not conceded more than one goal in 90 minutes in their last five home games in this tournament.
- A total of under 2.5 goals has been scored in 4 of Togo's last 5 home matches in World Cup qualifiers.
Sudan
Sudan's recent form has been inconsistent, with the team suffering a 0-2 loss to South Africa in their last outing. This defeat marked their second consecutive loss in the World Cup qualifiers. Despite their struggles, Sudan remains competitive in the group, occupying the second spot with six points. A victory against Togo would significantly bolster their chances of progressing to the next stage.
- Sudan has not won in regular time in their last four away matches in World Cup qualifiers (1 draw, 3 losses).
- No more than two goals have been scored in 90 minutes in 5 of Sudan's last 7 away games in this tournament.
- At least one of the opponents failed to score in regular time in 5 of Sudan's last 7 away matches in World Cup qualifiers.
Togo vs. Sudan: Match Prediction
Togo has shown resilience at home, often opting for a defensive strategy to secure positive results. They have managed to keep their opponents at bay, conceding only one goal in their last two home World Cup qualifiers. However, their attacking prowess remains a concern, with the team struggling to score consistently.
Sudan, on the other hand, has experienced contrasting fortunes in home and away fixtures. While they have managed to score at home, their away performances have been less impressive, with only two goals scored in their last four away matches. Despite this, they have maintained a solid defensive record, conceding a maximum of one goal in most of their recent away games.
Considering all factors, I do not expect this match to be high-scoring. My prediction: Total under 2.5 goals
