Senegal vs Sudan Prediction, Odds & Statistics
Our Poisson-based model projects 1.58 expected goals for Senegal and 0.93 for Sudan, a combined total of 2.51. That distribution gives Senegal the largest share of the 1X2 market at 53%, with the draw at 25%. Goals markets follow the same shape: 46% for over 2.5 goals and 48% for both teams to score, with 1–0 the single most likely scoreline at 13%. Probabilities are statistical estimates and carry meaningful uncertainty — a 53% favourite still loses or draws a large share of the time.

Prediction conclusion
The model's leading selection is Senegal win, at 52.5%. Its single most likely scoreline is 1–0.
It puts both teams scoring at 48% and over 2.5 goals at 46%.
A 53% selection is expected to miss in the remaining share of matches, and football regularly produces red cards, injuries and tactical changes the data cannot see. Treat this as a probability, not a forecast of the result.
