Central Africa U20 vs South Sudan U20 Prediction: Both nations eye first AFCON win

In the second round of games for the Africa Cup of Nations U20, Central Africa U20 and South Sudan U20 will play each other at Suez Canal Stadium. Both teams had a disappointing opener, losing their match, and will now look for an improved performance.

In spite of the fact that they were defeated by Uganda U20 in their previous match, Central Africa will start as the favorites in this one. As a result of this loss, the Central African squad has now lost three of its last five matches across all tournaments. These defeats came at the hands of the Burkina Faso U20, the Gambia U20, and the Uganda U20. Despite this, they came out on top against Tunisia U20 in the AFCON U20 matchup in 2021, playing Namibia U20 to a draw in the process. It is essential to recognize that this team has a great deal of room for growth, particularly in their defense, which has surrendered at least one goal in each of their most recent eight matches across all competitions.

The South Sudan U20 team's first match in this tournament was against Congo U20, and they ended up losing by a score of 1-2. They were unable to demonstrate their capabilities and were eliminated. Their performance has been quite poor, as evidenced by the fact that they have only one victory to their name since the year 2018, which came in the shape of a 3-0 victory over the Somalia U20 team. South Somalia is currently in last place in Group B of the Africa Cup of Nations U20 table, having earned no points throughout the competition.

Due to the fact that both teams are not powerful, this match is going to be a very close one. In the meantime, I am anticipating a fun-filled and high-scoring competition as a result of their poor and shaky defense, which is why I believe it will be tough for them to avoid conceding any goals. As a result of the fact that both sides are anticipated to do everything in their power to avoid losing, a draw appears to be another viable outcome.
