Sudan v Angola Betting Preview
By Graham on Jan 26, 2012 with Comments 0
Its all to play for at the Estadio De Malabo this afternoon with Sudan (125/1 for the title) playing to keep their AFCON 2012 hopes alive with a victory over Angola (33/1 for the title), who themselves know a second Group B win would put them into the Quarter-finals.
The Sudanese were unlucky to fall to a 1-0 defeat in their opener against ther more illustrious Ivory Coast opponents but despite their best efforts in that match their recent record at the African Cup of Nations is a very poor one and they have lost their last four games, that poor run stretches over decades with their last win coming in the 1963 tournament and last goal was in 1976, true to say Sudan are one of the minnows of African football. If sudan can turn that opening 1-0 defeat around it would pay out 13/2 with Bet365.com.
Angola (evens to win the match) have their destiny in their own hands following an opening 2-1 win over Burkina Faso (a repeat of 2-1 against Sudan pays out 17/2) thanks to goals from Mateus (8/1 to score first / last or 3/1 at anytime) and former Manchester United star Manucho (11/2 first / last or 21/20 anytime) who have competition upfront for places following the available again Nando Rafael (6/1 first / last or 9/4 anytime).
Team News
Sudan (3/1 to win the match) coach Mohamed ‘Mazda’ Abdallah only has a squad of 22 players to call upon because of injury to Ahmed Al Basha. Faisal Musa is fit again after missing the first match through injury, while two players – Nagm Eldin Abdall and Ala Eldin – are on a yellow card.
Meanwhile, Angola striker Nando Rafael is available for selection after the former Germany youth international received Fifa clearance to play for the Palancas Negras. Neither Flavio nor Djalma have any problems, with the team doctor saying that both were substituted in the opening win because of fatigue.
Betting Tips
We just dont think Sudan have it in them to overcome Angola in this must win match for them and we see them bowing out of the tournament. Sudan 0-2 Angola paying out 7/1 and if he starts Rafael is a good bet to score in the match at 9/4, double it up for a 14/1 payout.
