Cape Verde Isl. - Mozambique: Form Analysis
Cape Verde officially took the giant killers' tag after their Match Day 1 heroics, beating favorites Ghana 2-1. Their late winner in the game, fired by Garry Rodrigues will be enough to give them the needed confidence to face a tricky opponent in Mozambique. Having outplayed Ghana, Cape Verde will want to bag three points here too, to secure a spot in the round of 16. That would be enough to match their performance in the last AFCON edition and thereafter it will be a forward march. Facing Egypt in the final group game the Blue Sharks will not want to gamble with this game. A run of three matches unbeaten in competitive action should give them the required motivation. Three past games without a loss to Mozambique will further push them. The last time the two nations faced off, Cape Verde registered a 1-0 win, in 2021, making it two wins in three meetings with Mozambique.
Mozambique will head into this game with a few regrets after dropping points late against Egypt. Having settled in the game well after early concession, the Mambas turned the tide on Egypt and were minutes away from a famous win. However an infringement in the box was picked by the VAR, handing Egypt a penalty in stoppage time. That was slammed in by Mohamed Salah to see the match end 2-2. Chiquinho Conde’s men’s reactions at full time said it all, but they have another chance here. It will be interesting to see if the Mambas will once again employ a counter attacking strategy against Cape Verde as they did with Egypt. For long periods the strategy worked well. For Mozambique, the pressure should be lesser here but knowing well they finish their group games against Ghana should motivate them to win here.

Cape Verde Isl. & Mozambique Squad Analysis
Cape Verde haven't reported any injuries after their opening day heroics. Garry Rodrigues will however feel he has earned a starting berth after coming off the bench to grab the winner. Conde has a decision to make if he is to introduce the Match day 1 hero here. As for the Mambas, there is a concern with Clesio Baque, who had to leave the pitch with a hamstring injury. Not much has been said of his progress but he is not expected to feature here. Ricardo Guimaraes did well manning the midfield against Egypt and he should earn another start here. However, after showing he can be the main man, Conde will be hoping he avoids a second booking after his yellow card against Egypt.
