Lebanon faces Sudan at Brann Stadion in Bergen for an International Friendly on May 29, 2026. Neither side comes in with much recent match activity. It’s a rare meeting, but not a random pairing – both nations are using this game to test their depth, with new faces likely on both rosters. Sudan, under Kwesi Appiah, struggles for consistency, while Lebanon, managed by Madjid Bougherra, has flashed moments of discipline but lacks a scoring edge lately. For those watching beyond the surface, midfield generalship might tip the scales – look out for Lebanon’s captain and Sudan’s dynamic winger to dictate tempo and spark the only real fireworks. Hot stat: Lebanon’s last win over Brunei was a 3-0 clean sheet, their most recent sign of intent. The oddsmakers? They’re not picking sides at all, so there’s value to sniff out for sharp eyes.

Lebanon vs Sudan prediction
Best value prediction: Draw. Why? Neither side comes in with form – Lebanon hasn’t played in months, Sudan’s only played (and lost) twice this year. Both teams are searching for rhythm, not dominance. The last meeting between these two saw Sudan edge Lebanon 2-1, but both were fragile in defense and short on chances created. TipsGG punters lean draw: both are blunt in attack, defenses have holes, but the absence of recent match data points to low energy, few risks, and likely a cagey affair.
No bookings, no notable foul stats, barely any shots in recent games – so don’t expect a physical contest. Ball possession? Up for grabs, with both coaches likely to rotate. Tactics will be simple, direct, maybe even flat. All signs point to a slow, even, and mostly uneventful match.
| 🔥Hot Tip: | Under 2.5 goals |
| ⚽Total Goals: | 0-1 |

Team Analysis
Lebanon’s last five matches show an improving defense, at least when facing weaker opposition: a 3-0 win over Brunei, two clean sheets versus Bhutan, but a stalemate against Indonesia. Their most recent loss? Sudan, 1-2, in the FIFA Arab Cup qualifiers. That game exposed Lebanon’s inability to recover once behind and a lack of creative spark in the final third. This side is rigid but sometimes too passive, content to keep shape but hesitant in transition. Sudan’s recent results are darker: two matches this year, both losses – a 0-3 defeat to Saudi Arabia B and a 1-3 fall to Senegal. Their defense leaks, and the midfield offers little cover, so they’re forced to chase games early. That loss to Saudi Arabia B hurt, revealing Sudan’s problems under pressure: rushed passing, few chances, and heads drop quickly when conceding.
Sudan, meanwhile, won 1-0 against Equatorial Guinea in their last win, but haven’t tasted victory since. The last five include a mix of heavy defeats and one scraped result. A 0-3 collapse to Algeria and a 0-2 stumble versus Burkina Faso highlight their defensive fragility. Going forward, Sudan often relies on moments of individual brilliance from wide players, but rarely sustains pressure. Their overall form? Shaky, inconsistent, and heavily dependent on opponents’ mistakes.

Bookmakers are on the fence – literally no odds available, which almost never happens. This usually means the match is too close or unpredictable for the market to confidently set prices. Given Sudan’s poor form and Lebanon’s inactivity, nobody looks like a favorite. The draw makes the most sense, but any result could pop up if one side suddenly gels or takes a risk. If you’re punting, look for in-play lines once the teams settle in.
Possible Starting Lineups
Lebanon possible starting eleven
Lineup is tough to predict with Lebanon idle for months. Expect Bougherra to trust experienced defenders and a disciplined midfield, with the captain anchoring play. The lone forward spot may rotate – whoever starts must press hard, even if service is light. Formation? Likely a cautious 4-2-3-1, focused on defensive solidity.
Sudan possible starting eleven
Appiah’s squad tends to favor a 4-3-3, but the back line is unsettled after heavy defeats. Look for a reshuffle – maybe a new face at center-back, with the left winger critical to counter attacks. If Sudan go with a more defensive 4-4-2, it signals a wait-and-pounce approach, relying on raw pace out wide.

TipsGG Match Prediction
This game could easily fizzle, or someone might just break through on a lucky set piece. All recent evidence screams stalemate. Sudan are disorganized, Lebanon’s recent scoring came only against much weaker teams. We think it’s a tactical chess match, not a goal fest. A 0-0 or 1-1 wouldn’t surprise anyone in the TipsGG punters’ group – maybe the only thing that would is a goal before halftime. Under 2.5 goals is the standout play, draw is the sharp angle, both teams to score looks risky.
