Mozambique vs Benin Prediction: The home team should take care of things in this match

On Saturday, Mozambique will play Benin at home in a qualifying match for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations. The match will take place at the Estádio do Zimpeto. Both teams have a shot of making it to the next round of the tournament if they win this matchup, which is for one of the few remaining spots in the AFCON main tournament. Senegal has secured the top spot in Group L thanks to their total of 13 points, while Mozambique and Benin are currently in second and third place, respectively, with seven and five points.

Both teams have a shot of making it to the next round of the tournament if they win tonight's matchup, which is for one of the few remaining spots in the competition. Senegal has secured the top spot in Group L thanks to their total of 13 points, while Mozambique and Benin are currently in second and third place, respectively, with seven and five points. Rwanda, which had finished in fourth place, was eliminated. As a result of their 1-0 victory in the match that was played against them earlier, the Os Mambas have the psychological upper hand. Even if the game ends in a tie, the home team still has a chance to win the second qualifying spot for the group. Mozambique is looking to make a comeback to the continental showpiece for the first time since 2010, which was their last appearance.

Benin are in a situation that they absolutely have to win. Any outcome other than triumph would result in their complete and utter elimination. In fact, they were unable to capitalize on the advantages of playing at home on multiple occasions, suffering a defeat at the hands of Mozambique and two draws each against Rwanda and Senegal. They now face an uphill task in order to claim all three points while they are away from their home field. When they reached the quarterfinals in 2019, Les Ecureuils shocked the entire continent with their performance. This was their fourth participation. However, because they could not meet the requirements to participate in the 2021 competition, they were unable to follow up on their success. The last five away matches that Benin played have ended in defeat for the team, as they have suffered three defeats and given up nine goals while only scoring four.

Mozambique's record against Benin is one win and one draw; the two nations' only other meeting resulted in a draw. In their last five games played at home, Mozambique has a record of one victory, two draws, and two defeats. In their last five encounters, Mozambique has scored five goals while only allowing three to be scored against them. The previous five matches that Benin have played away from home have ended in a draw twice and a loss three times. In their last five matches, Mozambique has won twice, drawn twice, and lost once, while Benin has won once, drawn twice, and lost twice.

Mozambique is going to exhaust every possible option in the hopes of achieving a successful end. We anticipate a sizable crowd to be present at the Zimpeto stadium to cheer on their squad as they compete. With two goals so far in the competition, Geny Catamo is the primary attacking threat for the home team. Benin is trying to pull off an incredible upset and win in Maputo. Coach Gernot Rohr has been giving the team a series of inspirational talks that are intended for the players. After leaving his position as head coach of the Super Eagles of Nigeria, he was given the position in February; however, there have been rumors that he would be fired if the squad was unable to qualify for the tournament. Mozambique is coming into this match as the favorite because of their recent play, the fact that it will be played at home, and their momentum. Therefore, with great attacking play and a huge advantage, I expect the home team to secure a win in this match.
