Date: October 16, 2023
Time: 4 pm BST (6 pm Local Time)

Expect an action-packed game as both teams are in good form. Nigeria’s recent 6-0 victory suggests over 2.5 goals are likely. Mozambique, with just one loss in their last five games, is no pushover.
Prediction: Over 2.5 goals
Nigeria, in excellent form, is the clear favorite to win this encounter. Their recent 6-0 victory against Sao Tome and Principe in AFCON Qualifying underscores their dominance, making them the team to watch in this exciting match.
Betting Tip: Nigeria to win.
A decade after Nigeria’s 4-2 victory in Group A, Mozambique is on a winning streak with recent triumphs over Benin and Mauritius. They’re eager to continue this run, but there’s a notable concern: Mozambique’s defense has been leaky, conceding goals in their last six home matches.
Nigeria, on the other hand, enters the match in great spirits, with three straight wins against Sao Tome, Sierra Leone, and Guinea Bissau. They showcase not only a potent attack but also solid defense. As these African giants clash once more, it promises an intense and thrilling match, with Mozambique’s strong offense facing Nigeria’s all-around form.
