Sudan can also draw confidence from their past encounters, having beaten Burkina Faso 2-1 at the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations.
Burkina Faso, meanwhile, arrive in Casablanca hoping to bounce back from a narrow 1-0 defeat to Algeria in their second group match.
This result ended a seven-match unbeaten run in all competitions for the Stallions, a run which included six wins and one draw.
Despite the setback, Burkina Faso remain well placed to claim the second automatic qualification spot, having won their opening Group E match and maintained a superior goal difference to Sudan.
A victory on Wednesday would ensure them a fourth consecutive participation in the knockout stages of the CAN, while a defeat would leave them dependent on qualifying for third place.
Team news for Sudan vs Burkina Faso

Sudan welcome back Salaheldin Alhassan, who returns from suspension after missing the victory against Equatorial Guinea.
Monged Elneel should retain his place in goal after a strong performance last time out.
Kwesi Appiah could stick with the same starting line-up after a disciplined performance against Algeria, where Sudan competed well despite conceding the only goal of the match.
Burkina Faso also have a stable squad, with Hervé Koffi set to continue between the posts.
In defense, Steve Yago, Issoufou Dayo, Edmond Tapsoba and Arsène Kouassi should form the defense quartet, while Bertrand Traoré, Pierre Kaboré and Dango Ouattara should lead the attack.

Burkina Faso
Sudan showed plenty of resilience to secure a crucial victory against Equatorial Guinea, but Burkina Faso have greater quality and experience at this level.
With qualification on the line, the Stallions should have enough control and attacking threat to take all three points and book their place in the round of 16.
