Africa Cup of Nations 2025: Equatorial Guinea-Sudan, likely lineups

Equatorial Guinea-Sudan is a match valid for the second day of Group E of the African Cup of Nations 2025, being played in Morocco. The two teams take the field at 4 p.m. Both teams lost their matches on the first day. Guinea was defeated by Burkina Faso 2-1, while Sudan was overwhelmed 3-0 by group leader Algeria. It’s therefore already a high-tension playoff match: whoever wins keeps the qualification dream alive, a loss means virtually certain elimination from the tournament.

Equatorial Guinea, which has won its last two matches against Sudan, comes in with Machin and Zuniga in attack, on the flanks are Salvador and Asue, and in midfield Mascarell is paired with Ganet.

Sudan with the trident Abdelrahman, Eisa, Mozamil. In midfield Taifour along with Omber and Nooh. The full-backs will be Awad and Khamis.
