Mozambique vs Botswana: Prediction and odds on the Match on 08 September 2025

On Monday, Mozambique will lock horns against Botswana at the Estadio Nacional do Zimpeto Stadium in the fight for the second spot on the log. Neither team has been bad since the tournament began, and I think they’ll be pleased with a point apiece here.

Chiquinho Conde's men suffered another loss in the FIFA World Cup qualifier as they have now gone two matches without a breakthrough. Mozambique were utterly bruised by Uganda, who scored four times to amass all the points. Despite going in with most of their key players, Mozambique held on to a toothless stalemate at the break. However, the Cranes took advantage of their weak defense and scored four solid goals to pile more pressure on the league leaders. 

The Mambas, who have now lost three games in the ongoing FIFA World Cup qualifiers, will be keen to make adjustments. 

Mozambique have been highly aggressive in their approach to securing a place in the next FIFA World Cup Tournament, picking up twelve points from a possible twenty-one. Mozambique have lost three and won four in their previous seven games in this competition. They occupy the third spot on the log, and a win here will boost their chances of winning the group. 

Mozambique Lineup

Chiquinho Conde made adjustments at the back, which cost them against Uganda, and they must be careful against Botswana, who can be very dangerous on their day. 

Mozambique Potential Lineup (4-2-3-1)

Ivan—Langa, Mandava, Mexer, Calila—Amade, Guima—Witi, Santos, Catamo—Ratifo

Head coach: Chiquinho Conde

The Southern African-based side head here with a heavy defeat against Algeria on the road despite showing resilience at some point in the game. Botswana were overwhelmed by their opponent, who have been formidable lately, conceding three while finding the back of the net once. After a (1-1) stalemate at the break, Botswana went missing in the second half, conceding twice without any response. The defeat means they have now suffered four losses since the FIFA World Cup qualifier began. 

Morena Ramoreboli’s men presently occupy the fifth place on the standings, nine points out of a combined twenty-one. 

The Zebras have won three in the last seven group matches, and both came against Somalia and Guinea.

Coach Morena Ramoreboli has been pretty good, but lacks the material to get the job done. He will continue to work with what he has, and maybe they might get something away from this game. 

Botswana Potential Lineup (4-4-1)

Phoko—Johnson, Gaolaolwe, Kopelang, Velaphi—Cooper—Setsile, Sesinyi, Ditsele, Kgaswane—Baruti

Head coach: Morena Ramoreboli

Mozambique vs Botswana: head to head statistics

Mozambique haven’t really improved in recent games, considering their performance at the start of the tournament. They have struggled to express themselves in front of goal, and their defense has been very shaky. 

On the contrary, Botswana have been in terrible shape since the competition began, and their wins have come against struggling opponents. 

Both teams have been below par in this competition, but I have a feeling Mozambique won’t lose three consecutive FIFA World Cup qualifiers games. Considering that both sides won’t prioritize defence in this highly anticipated game, I expect goals to surface here. I’m backing Mozambique to return to winning ways, but I'm not sure they’ll be able to keep a clean sheet. 

My match prediction is for Mozambique to win or draw and score more than a goal with a coefficient of 1.71 on the Betway bookmaker.

My betting tip on this match is a halftime stalemate with a coefficient of 2.02 on the 1xbet bookmaker.

My final betting tip on this game is a BTTS for a coefficient of 2.10 on the Bet365 bookmaker. 

Good luck!
