Sudan vs South Africa
2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier
Group C
Sunday 28 March 2021
Al-Hilal Stadium, Omdurman
Kick-off 18:00
South Africa will be desperate to avoid missing out on next year's
Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) when they face Sudan at Al-Hilal Stadium on Sunday.
Bafana Bafana make the trip to Omdurman in second spot in Group C, level on 10 points with already qualified Ghana who close off their 2021 Afcon qualifying campaign at home to Sao Tome and Principe.
Sudan sit a point back and need a win this weekend to advance to next year's finals in Cameroon at South Africa's expense. A draw will be enough for Bafana Bafana.
Bafana Bafana head coach Molefi Ntseki says his team have a plan for whatever Sudan offers on Sunday, knowing all too well that Hubert Velud's team need to go all out for victory.
"In football, there's something very interesting, if you look we had more possession, very good opportunities but unfortunately we ended up with a draw and I think going to Sudan it's for them to lose," Ntseki told SABC TV following Thursday's 1-1 draw against the Black Stars at FNB Stadium.
"Because they will be coming at us and we already have a plan for that, they have to play to win, a draw is not going to help them.
"So in this case they will have to come at us and coming at us, we have very good players who can play on the transition and get us a win."
The Falcons of Jediane have already caused an upset in the group stages, beating Ghana 1-0 in Omdurman last year and they defeated Sao Tome and Principe 2-0 on Wednesday to keep their Afcon hopes alive.
In head-to-head stats, South Africa boast a 100% record against Sudan, having beaten them twice enroute to qualifying for the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations tournament and 1-0 in the reverse fixture in November 2019. Lebogang Phiri scored the decisive goal at Orlando Stadium.
