All teams need a win to keep their places in the group standings alive. Mauritius currently has three points, while Mozambique has one point. If you look at their head-to-head record, Mozambique has been the most successful team in recent matches.

They have been victorious in six of their last nine matches against Mauritius. Mauritius’ only win came in September 2015 when they beat Mozambique 1-0 in an AFCON qualifier at Djamal Aden Stadium.

However, Mauricio has struggled in his last matches of the tournament. Since May 2018, they have lost 13 of their 15 competitive matches and have been winless in 14 of those matches. In contrast, Mozambique’s away record this year has been abysmal, with just one win in six away games in all competitions and four losses.

However, in their opening group game, Mauritius suffered a 2-0 defeat against Lesotho, failing to start the tournament with a win.

To advance from their group, Fidy Rasoanaivo’s team not only needs to win their upcoming game against Mozambique but also requires at least a draw in the other group matchup. The outcome of both matches will determine their chances of progressing to the next stage of the COSAFA Cup.
