Ethiopia host Sudan on Wednesday, Mar 24 at 6:00 PM in a top-four clash that could have significant title implications. Both sides are separated by just 3 points in the Qualification – Group J, making this one of the more consequential fixtures of the season.

Ethiopia come into this fixture out of form (0W 2L recently). Sudan, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (1W 0D 1L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

Head-to-head records offer little separation — Ethiopia and Sudan have split their 10 meetings almost evenly (3W–3D–4W). Their last encounter ended in Ethiopia won 0–1.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Ethiopia a slight edge, but Sudan are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
