Come si presentano le due squadre?
Mozambique arrives in confident mood after a stunning 1-0 victory over hosts South Africa in their opening match. The Mambas showcased solid organisation at the back and sharp finishing up front, leaving opponents frustrated and signaling their intent to go deep in the tournament. Their ability to grind out results on the break has been a hallmark of their early campaign.
On the other side, Mauritius will be looking to bounce back from mixed displays in recent regional competitions. Despite a decent work rate and flashes of creativity, they have yet to pick up a win against a side as tactically astute as Mozambique. Historically, the teams have met twice, yielding one draw and one win for the hosts, underlining the challenge Mauritius faces in Bloemfontein.
La nostra previsione
Given Mozambique’s momentum and home-style confidence in a neutral venue, we expect them to dominate possession and create the majority of clear-cut chances. Their defence has yet to concede in open play during this COSAFA Cup, suggesting Mauritius will need a near-perfect night to break through.
Our tip is for Mozambique to secure a 1-0 or 2-0 victory, keeping a clean sheet while capitalizing on a set-piece or counter-attack. Mauritius might frustrate opponents late on, but they appear a step behind in terms of tactical cohesion and cutting edge.
