Guinea-Bissau vs Sudan prediction, preview, team news and more | 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers
Guinea-Bissau square off against Sudan at the Stade de Marrakech in Marrakech on Sunday for their final 2022 World Cup qualifying match.
With Morocco winning Group I at a canter, both teams have been eliminated from the race to reach the third and final qualifying round.
Guinea-Bissau will still aim to at least finish second, where they're currently placed with five points, one clear of Guinea, with whom they drew 0-0 on Friday.
Their only victory in the group, interestingly, came against their next opponents, securing a resounding 4-2 win in September.
The Djurtus raced to a 3-0 lead inside the opening half but the home side pulled back twice through Mohamed Abdelrahman in the second period.
The sides are now also set to clash in the group stages of the 2022 Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon in January.
Sudan, at the bottom of the group with two points, are winless and will be hoping to at least put a win on the board before closing out their campaign.
