Benin will head to Ivory Coast, where they will host Mauritania in their second match of the 2027 AFCON qualifiers. This match at the Alassane Ouattara Stadium will find Benin second in Group F, two points behind leaders Mauritania. As Benin are winless in their last three matches, our prediction will back Mauritania winning.
Benin do not have the capacity to host this match in their country but will be looking to prevail after starting off with a draw in Burkina Faso. They rank 20 places higher than Mauritania but trail in head-to-head numbers against their visitors.
Benin’s 1-1 draw with Burkina Faso means they’ve now gone three matches without victory, and that could affect their confidence.
Mauritania will be bullish coming into this encounter. The visitors started off their qualification campaign with a win, beating the Central African Republic 3-1.
That was their second straight win, and it stretched their unbeaten run to three matches. They are enjoying a purple patch and will be looking to claim three straight wins for the first time in over one year.
Twice in their last three meetings with Benin, Mauritania claimed wins and kept clean sheets in those matches as well. Having gone winless in eight games before finding their current form, Mauritania will be positive heading into this encounter.

Our Benin vs Mauritania Prediction
Our prediction for Benin v Mauritania is that Mauritania wins. Mauritania aren’t the strongest side around, but this should be a manageable match for them. They have two wins and as many clean sheets in their three meetings with Benin, which should breed confidence in their chances of winning here.
The hosts are not only winless in the last three matches, but playing a home match away from home could likely limit them. Mauritania will be looking to build on their winning start, and we see this going their way.
