Having just returned from a meek loss away to Ghana‚ any thoughts that Sudan might provide some respite for Bafana Bafana in Sunday’s second 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier at Orlando Stadium should be firmly put aside.

The Sudanese have been impressive in their recovery from a horror spell in recent times and are especially adept on the road‚ where their ability to soak up pressure and hit teams on the counterattack has engineered some notable results.

But it did give the North African side an extra 24 hours to prepare for Sunday’s encounter‚ as opposed to the mad dash of Bafana Bafana back from Ghana’s Cape Coast that only sees them arrive late on Friday afternoon. They also won in Chad and Tanzania ‚ and while Bafana should present a greater challenge than those two‚ it is a sign of some consistency that had been missing in previous years.

It is still mostly selected from the “big two” in the country‚ Al-HIlal and Al-Merrikh‚ but the addition of Tottenham Hotspur teenager Mowafaq Aadil and Romania-based Yasin Hamed adds a new dimension.
