Guinea-Bissau vs Mozambique Prediction and Betting Tips | 19th November 2024
Guinea-Bissau will host Mozambique at Estádio Nacional 24 in the Africa Cup of Nations Qualification on Tuesday. Both teams can still qualify for the final tournament and so we expect a tough contest between the sides.
Guinea-Bissau dropped points in their last match as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Eswatini, which led to their slump to third place in Group I with five points. They will have to defeat Mozambique with more than three goals without conceding to snatch the second spot. It appears to be an uphill battle for the west African side.
Djurtus boast one win in the group after five rounds of matches, drawing twice and losing twice. They lost 2-1 to Mozambique in the reverse fixture and will looking to take their revenge and eventually seal their qualification. However, the visitors are in brilliant shape and are also eying the remaining qualifying ticket from the group.
Mozambique compounded issues for themselves when they lost at home to Mali in their last outing. The visitors would have claimed their qualification in the event of a win against Mali. However, all is not lost as Mozambique, on eight points, could make it if they prevail over Guinea-Bissau in this clash.
Os Mambas made a return to the Africa Cup of Nations earlier this year in Cote d’Ivoire after missing six editions. They crashed out in the group stage – their best continental record thus far. Head coach Chiquinho Conde claims the team is making progress and could achieve more if they qualify for the upcoming edition.
