Africa Cup of Nations - Sudan v Burkina Faso Odds and Betting Preview

BATA, EQUATORIAL GUINEA - Sudan needs results to go their way in Group B but they can still qualify if they beat bottom of the table Burkina Faso. Sudan are top priced at 15/8 (bet £8 to make £15 profit) at bet365 and Boylesports to win the match, whilst Burkina Faso are quoted at best odds of 8/5 with BetVictor to claim a meaningless three points. The draw can be backed at best odds of 23/10 at Stan James and BetVictor.

Sudan can still qualify for the quarter-finals if they win and Côte d'Ivoire defeat Angola and the combined margin of the two wins is three goals or more, or if Sudan score at least three more goals than Angola. With both sides yet to win in the competition they will be going all out for victory. Burkina Faso have nothing to play for but the potential outsiders have flattered to deceive in their first two matches and will be determined to prove themselves on this stage before exiting the tournament.
