Mozambique hosts Guinea in an all-important Group G clash in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying. Mozambique are third in the group, tied on 15 points with second-place Uganda, with Guinea a further four points behind. With Algeria leading the group, having gained 19 points and seemingly uncatchable with two games left, Mozambique will be pushing to get 3 points that will push them closer to securing a playoff spot. Four of the best second-place teams from all the groups will play off for the final qualification spots. Mozambique, which won the reverse fixture last year, is the slight favorite to win this game.

Mozambique vs. Guinea Match Preview
Mozambique: form and statistics
Mozambique have been solid in Maputo, claiming all their wins in home ties. Five wins have landed Os Mambas on 15 points. They have won three consecutive World Cup games at home. In the September fixtures, Mozambique were heavily thrashed 4-0 away in Uganda before rebounding with a 2-0 win over Botswana. Chiquinho Conde has some coaching to do ahead of this game as he must find a way to get Stanley Ratifo firing again. The striker has not scored a goal for Mozambique since matchday 5.
Mozambique possible starting lineup:
Ernan; Calila, Edson, Mandava, Langa, Nene, Armade, Guima, Catamo, Ratifo, Witi
Bet on Mozambique vs. Guinea with Bet365Guinea: form and statistics
Guinea famously beat Algeria in Algiers in the pick of their qualifying series. They are on 11 points from six games, claiming three wins and two draws. Paulo Duarte has had more success away than at home with the Syli National, getting two away victories out of their three wins. Guinea still has an outside chance to take second place in the group, but they will need to win their last two games and then wait for the other games to align in their favor. Borussia Dortmund striker Serhou Guirassy hasn’t scored in the last few games and needs to find a way to bring his club form to the national team if Guinea must progress.
Guinea possible starting lineup:
Camara; D. Sylla, Soumah, Conte, S. Sylla, Toure, Konate, Cisse, Balde, Guirassy, M. Sylla.
Mozambique vs. Guinea Match Prediction
Guinea has a better away record than home record and will be planning to take Mozambique's scalp here. Os Mambas are, however, highly motivated and will be looking to clinch a fourth straight home victory. While the betting markets are leaning towards Syli National, we predict that Mozambique will get a victory at home and keep their World Cup hopes alive.
