The African teams of Mauritania and Sudan will clash in the World Cup qualifying stage. This international tournament match promises excitement for football enthusiasts.
The Mauritanian national team currently ranks 105th in the FIFA rankings. Although they have never participated in the World Cup, they have made three appearances in the African Cup of Nations. It’s only recently that Mauritania began competing in African continental tournaments.
In 2019 and 2021, they were limited to the group stage. However, in 2023, they achieved a historic milestone by reaching the Round of 16. In the World Cup qualifying stage, Mauritania has played one match, which did not go very well. They lost to Cape Verde with a score of 1-0. As a result, the Mauritanian team stands in the 5th position in the group standings.
Sudan’s footballers have never achieved great success on the international stage. Currently, Sudan holds the 127th position in the FIFA rankings, indicating a modest level of the national team. They have never played in the World Cup, though they often appeared in the African Cup of Nations.
Sudan has had successful tournaments and even golden medals in the past, but in the recent African Cup of Nations, they haven’t made it past the group stage. The start of the qualifying stage has been successful for Sudan. In two matches, Sudan managed to gain four points by defeating Congo and Togo. After these two matches, Sudan stands in the 2nd position in the group standings.
Mauritania and Sudan have met in four official matches, with each team winning twice. In the last two matches, Mauritania emerged victorious, both times with a score of 3-0.
The overall total number of goals in the match is expected to be under 3. In recent matches, neither team has scored more than 2 goals.
Draw. The Sudanese footballers have had a better start in the qualifying tournament, but Mauritania has a higher-class squad, although currently in crisis. Sudan has a good chance to snatch points from the struggling Mauritania.
