After suffering a disappointing result in their opening match of the 2025 African Cup of Nations (Group f), Gabon are out to redeem themselves and register their first win of the competition when they battle it out against Mozambique at Stade Adrar on matchday two. Let's head into the match prediction.
Gabon are making their ninth appearance in the Africa Cup of Nations. The goal couldn't be clearer for the Panthers, who are aiming to progress beyond the group stages of this competition. Their best finish in this tournament was in 2012 when they reached the quarter-finals. It was their first quarter-final appearance since 1996. Importantly, their last appearance at AFCON was in 2021 when they got eliminated in the Round of 16.
Mozambique, on the other hand, are making their sixth appearance in this competition. The last time they graced this stage was in the previous edition, and they were eliminated in the group stages. Considering they are at the bottom of Group B, another group stage exit is imminent.

Gabon - Mozambique: Form Analysis
Gabon comes into this match seeking to record their first win in the 2025 African Cup of Nations to keep their hopes of reaching the knockout stages alive.
The Panthers had to face Cameroon in their opening match and couldn't get the better of a team that lacked cohesion. In that match, they found themselves on the receiving end of a 1-0 defeat. They had 54% of ball possession and registered 14 shots at goal.
To register their first three points in this competition, they'll need to be more clinical in the final third. Anything other than that won't do much.
Mozambique have gone 16 matches without a win in the AFCON finals. Will they be able to stop this unwanted run?
Mozambique was resilient in their match against the Ivory Coast despite the numbers not showing it. They avoided losing by a big margin and opted for a 1-0 defeat instead.
In light of that result, the Mambas have now gone 16 matches without a win in the Africa Cup of Nations. This run comprises 12 losses and four draws.
Recording a win here could turn out to be an arduous task considering they've won just one of their last four competitive matches in this fixture (D1, L2).

Gabon & Mozambique Squad Analysis
Andre Poko was forced off in the 72nd minute after suffering an apparent injury. The 32-year-old midfielder won't be available for this upcoming encounter.
Despite registering 14 shots at goal with three finding the target, they couldn't find the back of the net, and that's a department head coach needs to focus on if they are to avoid early elimination.
Surprisingly, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was left out of the starting lineup against Cameroon due to a knock. His introduction in the 33rd minute showed he is eligible to play the whole 90 minutes this Sunday, and the talisman should be able to score one for his team and extend his goal tally to
Witi has been searching for his first international goal for Mozambique since September 2025.
Mozambique did not look threateningin the final third against the Ivory Coast. Their lack of attacking output could turn out to be their demise here.
Witi is expected to lead the attack once again this Sunday. However, the 29-year-old did not have the best game last time out as he failed to make a single shot towards goal. That shouldn't come as a shock, considering he has not scored a competitive goal in international matches since September 2025.

Our Gabon vs Mozambique Prediction
Gabon are the better side heading into this clash. They will be able to capitalize on Mozambique's poor showing in the Africa Cup of Nations. With Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang likely to start here, the team should be motivated to perform at their very best and secure maximum points.
Mozambique have not been at their best in this competition. Nothing much can be expected from a side that has gone 16 matches without a win. With that being said, Gabon should be able to secure all three points. Our Gabon vs Mozambique prediction: Gabon wins.
