Preview

Match preview

Mozambique host Sudan in the second round of group fixtures in AFCON Qualification, following contrasting yet encouraging opening results for both sides.

Mozambique opened their qualification campaign with an impressive 1-1 home draw against Senegal on September 25, demonstrating defensive discipline and resilience on home soil. That result halted a difficult run of international fixtures and provides positive momentum as they seek their first victory in the section.

Sudan arrive after securing maximum points in their opening fixture, edging Ethiopia 1-0 on home soil through a structured 4-4-2 setup. With both teams showing competitive defensive organization in their initial outings, this encounter in Maputo promises to be a closely contested affair with limited scoring opportunities.

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.
