Lebanon vs Sudan Predicted Lineups
Confirmed lineups will be added here approximately one hour before kickoff.
Lebanon (Predicted): Coach Miodrag Radulovic is expected to name a strong starting XI in his preferred 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 shape, with one eye on the critical Yemen qualifier just six days away. Omar Bugiel — the German Bundesliga attacker who has committed to Lebanon — is the highest-profile attacking option, with Hassan Srour providing creativity from midfield. Captain Mohamed Haidar provides leadership at the back. The confirmed starting XI for Lebanon has not yet been announced. Check back closer to kickoff.
Sudan (Predicted): Coach James Kwesi Appiah typically lines up in a 4-3-3 system built around discipline, organisation, and rapid transitions. Captain Bakhit Khamis anchors the midfield, while forward Aamir Abdallah — who opened the scoring against Senegal in the AFCON Round of 16 — is the most likely starter up front. Sudan won the previous fixture between these sides 2-1 with ten men, showing the resilience that characterised their AFCON campaign. The confirmed starting XI for Sudan has not yet been announced.

Lebanon Pre-Match Form
Lebanon enter this match in strong shape from their AFC Asian Cup qualifying campaign, where they lead Group B with four wins from five matches.
- Lost vs Sudan 1-2 — Arab Cup Qualification, 26 November 2025.
- Won vs Brunei 3-0 — AFC Asian Cup Qual Round 3, 18 November 2025.
- Won vs Bhutan 4-0 — AFC Asian Cup Qual Round 3, 14 October 2025.
- Won vs Bhutan 2-0 — AFC Asian Cup Qual Round 3, 9 October 2025.
- Drew vs Indonesia 0-0 — International Friendly, 8 September 2025.
Three consecutive wins in Asian Cup qualifying, plus a 3-0 defeat of Brunei, gives Lebanon genuine momentum heading into the summer window. The only blemish in recent form is the 1-2 defeat to Sudan in Arab Cup qualifying in November — making this rematch in Beirut a chance for Lebanon to settle the score on home turf.
Sudan Pre-Match Form
Sudan arrive in Beirut in the afterglow of one of the most remarkable national team stories in recent African football. Despite training in exile in Doha for the past two years due to ongoing civil war at home, the Falcons of Jediane reached the AFCON Round of 16 for the first time in 14 years.
- Lost vs Senegal 1-3 — AFCON Round of 16, 3 January 2026.
- Lost vs Burkina Faso 0-2 — AFCON Group E (rotated squad), 31 December 2025.
- Won vs Equatorial Guinea 1-0 — AFCON Group E, 28 December 2025.
- Drew vs Algeria 0-0 — AFCON Group E, 24 December 2025.
- Won vs Lebanon 2-1 — Arab Cup Qualification, 26 November 2025.
Sudan’s AFCON journey was inspiring. A goalless draw with group favourites Algeria, a battling 1-0 win over Equatorial Guinea, and then a competitive 1-3 defeat to Senegal in the knockouts — with Aamir Abdallah scoring before the Lions of Teranga replied — showed Appiah’s side has quality and belief. The visit to Beirut gives the coach a chance to build further ahead of AFCON 2027 qualifying.
Lebanon vs Sudan Head-to-Head
Lebanon and Sudan have met twice in recent senior competitive football, with one win each.
| Date | Competition | Result |
|---|---|---|
| 26 November 2025 | Arab Cup Qualification | Sudan 2 – 1 Lebanon |
| 7 December 2021 | FIFA Arab Cup — Group D | Lebanon 1 – 0 Sudan |
Sudan’s 2025 qualifying win was particularly dramatic — they went down to ten men after 24 minutes when John Robia received a second yellow card, but two goals overturned Lebanon’s lead to send the Falcons into the Arab Cup group stage. Lebanon’s 2021 Arab Cup win came via a 76th-minute own goal by Ali Abu-Eshrein. The overall record stands at 1W–0D–1L for each side. Friday’s friendly is a tiebreaker of sorts — and Lebanon will be desperate to assert home advantage in Beirut.
Lebanon vs Sudan Match Preview
This is a fixture built on a genuine competitive rivalry given both sides have clashed twice in Arab-zone competition in the last four years. Lebanon are the form side on paper, with their Asian Cup qualifying run delivering consistent results. But the Beirut crowd will also know they were beaten by Sudan in November — a defeat that came at the Arab Cup Qualification stage — and will want a response.
Sudan bring something more intangible: the spirit of a football association that has continued to compete through extraordinary adversity. Coach Appiah has repeatedly spoken about the squad’s desire to represent their war-torn nation with dignity and ambition, and that mentality was visible at the AFCON in Morocco. The Falcons of Jediane will not be passive visitors in Beirut.
For Lebanon, this match has additional competitive significance. Their Asian Cup qualifier against Yemen is only six days away, and Radulovic will use this friendly to assess squad depth and sharpen tactical combinations before the June 4 fixture. Players with aspirations to start against Yemen will know a strong performance tonight could secure their place.
