Ivory Coast vs Mozambique

Ivory Coast’s stunning 2023 victory on home soil came despite sacking their coach between the group stage and the knockout rounds. They will be hoping for a smoother journey in 2025, especially with such a talented squad heading to Morocco. 19-year-old Yan Diomande, who plays for RB Leipzig, has impressed and could shine at this tournament. The winger recently scored a hat-trick against Eintracht Frankfurt and has already netted six goals in the Bundesliga. In their last match, Mozambique drew 2-2 with Chad in an International Friendly. Geny Catamo (79') and Gildo (90') scored for Mozambique, while Marius Mouandilmadji (45') found the net for Chad. Under coach Chiquinho Conde, Mozambique has scored six goals in their last six matches, but they’ve also conceded a number of goals during this run.

Ivory Coast 4-3-3 formation - Yahia Fofana, Odilon Kossounou, Emmanuel Agbadou, Evan N'Dicka, Ghislain Konan, Seko Fofana, Franck Kessie, Ibrahim Sangare, Amad, Evann Guessand and Yan Diomande.

Mozambique 4-4-2 formation - Ernan, Infren Nanani, Mexer, Reinildo, Diogo Calila, Bruno Langa, Guima, Alfons Amade, Geny Catamo, Witi and Stanley Ratifo.

Ivory Coast vs Mozambique Trends

Ivory Coast scored 25 goals in their 10 World Cup qualifiers.

Mozambique has scored in five of their last six games. However, they lost 4-1 to Angola and drew 2-2 with Chad in their last two matches.

Yan Diomande has scored six goals for Leipzig this season and two goals in four matches for his country.

Ivory Coast vs Mozambique prediction

Mozambique will likely struggle to keep up with the strong Ivory Coast team. Expect goals and a routine win for the champions, with Diomande a good bet to score. Mozambique may find it tough to score, but they could manage to get one back during the match. We predict a comfortable 3-1 victory for Ivory Coast.

Algeria vs Sudan

Since winning the Africa Cup of Nations in 2019, Algeria has been eliminated at the group stage in the last two tournaments. They’ve earned just three points from 18 since their victory over Senegal in the final. However, Algeria looks capable of improving in Morocco. Algeria was the second-highest scoring team in both AFCON and World Cup qualifying. They scored 24 goals in 10 World Cup qualifiers, with Mohamed Amoura leading the way with 10 goals.

Algeria 4-2-3-1 system - Luca Zidane, Rafik Belghali, Aissa Mandi, Zineddine Belaid, Rayan Ait Nouri, Ismael Bennacer, Ramiz Zerrouki, Riyad Mahrez, Fares Chaibi, Anis Hadj Moussa and Baghdad Bounedjah.

Sudan 4-4-2 lineup - Mohamed Abooja, Yaser Awad, Mohamed Ereng, Mustafa Karshom, Ahmed Tabanja, Yasir Mozamil, Ammar Taifour, Walieldin Khidir, Abdelrazig Omer, John Mano and M. Abdel-Rahman.

Algeria vs Sudan Trends

Sudan hasn’t scored in their last five World Cup qualifiers.

On the other hand, Algeria scored 24 goals in 10 qualifiers.

Mohamed Amoura has found the net in six of his last seven international appearances.

Algeria vs Sudan Prediction

Algeria’s attacking power should lead them to a strong win at AFCON. Amoura is expected to guide them to a comfortable victory, clearing a -1 handicap. Sudan will struggle to score against an Algeria team likely to dominate the match. We predict a convincing 3-0 win for Algeria.

Cameroon vs Gabon

Cameroon starts their Africa Cup of Nations opener in chaos, which could give Gabon an advantage. FA President Samuel Eto’o fired manager Marc Brys earlier this month and replaced him with David Pagou. The new manager left out key players like Andre Onana, Vincent Aboubakar, and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting, who were part of Brys’ squad before he was fired. Cameroon heads to Morocco without these experienced players.

Gabon, after a loss to Nigeria in the WC Qualifiers, will be looking to bounce back. In that match, Mario Lemina (89') scored for Gabon, while Nigeria’s Akor Adams (78'), Chidera Ejuke (97'), and Victor Osimhen (102', 110') netted for Nigeria in extra time. Gabon’s recent games have been high-scoring, with 20 goals in the last 6 matches, averaging 3.33 goals per game. Opponents have scored 7 of those goals.

Cameroon 4-2-3-1 system - Devis Epassy, Mahamadou Nagida, Christopher Wooh, Flavien Boyomo, Nouhou Tolo, Arthur Avom, Carlos Baleba, Bryan Mbeumo, Eric Ebimbe, G. N'Koudou and Christian Kofane.

Gabon 4-2-3-1 system - Loyce Mbaba, Anthony Oyono, Bruno Ecuele Manga, Aaron Appindangoye, Jacques Ekomie, Ibrahim Didier Ndong, Mario Lemina, Jim Allevinah, Eric Bocoum, Denis Bouanga and P. Aubameyang.

Cameroon vs Gabon trends

Gabon has scored 21 goals in nine matches in 2025. However, in their last seven games, they have both won and lost 4-3.

Cameroon’s three goalkeepers have a total of 13 caps, and only two defenders have made more than 10 appearances.

The last league match between the two teams was on January 22, 2017, during the Africa Cup of Nations. The game ended 0-0.

In that match, Cameroon had 52% possession and took 9 shots, with 1 on target. Gabon, on the other hand, had 6 shots, with 1 on target.

Cameroon vs Gabon Prediction

Gabon missed out on the World Cup after a 4-1 loss to Nigeria in November. Earlier, they lost 4-3 at Niger in June but won 4-3 against Gambia in October. Gabon has the potential to surprise Cameroon, but the Indomitable Lions have Premier League-quality players like Bryan Mbeumo and Carlos Baleba.
