Having won just one point out of two matches with four left to play, the Super Eagles need victory against a Sudan side who are yet to pick up a point.
Sudan lost both of their matches against South Africa and Congo last month, but Bafana Bafana picked up all three points in the once impregnable Omdurman, winning 3-0.
The Falcons of Jediane last played at the Afcon in 2012, where they reached the quarter-finals, in their best finish since they won the title in 1970.
Sudan’s football has not seen much glory since then and don't look like reaching those enviable heights any time soon. The Falcons have failed to score in this qualifying round with striker Mudathir El Tahir struggling to find his best form.
The shut out of coach Mohammed Abdallah’s side could continue with the return to goal of Nigeria’s Vincent Enyeama, who has been the best keeper on the continent for the past two years.
Coach Stephen Keshi’s hopes for a renewed contract lies on the results of this game and the return leg in Abuja on Wednesday.
The 52-year-old would hope that his strikers can fire on all cylinders in the heat of Khartoum where the Eagles will play on an artificial pitch.
Defeat for Sudan will effectively rule them out of contention. If the Eagles lose in Khartoum, it would spell the end of an era for many players as well as the coaching crew.
