Guinea vs Sudan prediction, preview, team news and more | 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers
Guinea play Sudan at the neutral Adrar Stadium in Morocco on Saturday in the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
When the sides clashed on Wednesday in Marrakech for the first-leg, it ended in a 1-1 stalemate.
Mohamed Bayo struck for Guinea early after the break but Saifeldin Bakhit equalized for the Falcons of Jediane soon after.
It earned them their first point of the second round but Sudan remained at the bottom of Group I.
Guinea, too, are winless, having drawn both their games and sitting four points behind group leaders Morocco.
With a tough game against the Atlas Lions coming up next week, Didier Six's troops will be looking to avoid an upset here.
Guinea vs Sudan Head-To-Head
On Wednesday, the sides met for only the third time in history.
It was also the first time they played out a draw, having won a game each before that.

Guinea vs Sudan Prediction
Guinea were the better side on Wednesday but their dominance unfortunately didn't translate into all three points.
Sudan somehow scraped through with a point in the last game but may not enjoy the same result if their performance doesn't improve.
They've conceded seven times from three games and this defensive fragility might come to haunt them again on Saturday.
Prediction: Guinea 1-0 Sudan
