What They're Saying
Sudan coach Mohamed Abdalla (via IOL): "All the teams have a chance to qualify. We must fight for our chance. We are in better physical condition than when we started. All the teams are under pressure since no team has yet qualified from this group. We played Nigeria, a top team on the continent, a champion of Africa, so our players have experience of playing in such conditions."
Congo head coach Claude Le Roy (via 360 Nobs): "We've mapped out our plans to attack them as well as defend effectively to frustrate them. We would have to plan effectively to attack and at the same time recover and defend well. We will guard against counter attacks."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: Sudan's Salah Al Jizoli provided the team's only goal in Sunday's 2-1 loss to South Africa. The 29-year-old will look to provide more of the same in a victory at home this afternoon.
Sudan's Projected Lineup (4-2-2-2): Ali, Gafar, Suliman; Mamoun, Kosti, Hassan, Nassir, Tahir, Ibrahim, Babeker
Congo's Projected Lineup (4-3-3): Chansel; Nganga, Arnold, Francis, Boris; Dimitri, Delvin, Oniangue; Ferebore, Francis, Bifouma
