Both nations began their qualification campaigns with low-scoring encounters, Mozambique drawing 1-1 against Senegal and Sudan taking a 1-0 victory over Ethiopia. Sudan demonstrated defensive solidity by keeping a clean sheet in their opener, while Mozambique held one of the continent's top sides to a single goal at home. With both teams averaging exactly one goal scored per game in the group so far, a tight and cautious match with under 2.5 total goals is the most probable outcome.
