Mauritania - Angola: Form Analysis
Mauritania will be out for nothing else but a win here to boost their chances of qualifying for the knockout rounds. A second successive defeat will see Amir Abdou’s men eliminated with a game to spare. The Lions of Chinguetti were defeated 1-0 on matchday one by Burkina Faso. It was a disappointing defeat as a late penalty converted in stoppage time undid the work they had done to frustrate the Burkinabe. Mauritania, who have never qualified from their AFCON group in two appearances, haven’t won in five outings. They have lost three times in this stretch and have managed just one goal. Angola and Mauritania competed in the group stages of the 2019 edition and battled to a 0-0 draw.
Angola did not win their tournament opener but did fare better than Mauritania and avoided defeat. The Palancas Negras impressively held Algeria, one of the favourites for the tournament, to a 1-1 draw. A penalty with about 20 minutes to go from Mabululu saw Pedro Goncalves’ men come from behind to secure the point. The result should have them buoyed coming into this match. A win for the Southern African nation could leave them needing just one point from their final group game to qualify. Angola play Burkina Faso to conclude the group. The Antelopes, who are two-time AFCON quarterfinalists, have failed to reach the knockout rounds in each of their last three continental appearances. Angola have drawn their last six games and four have ended 0-0.

Mauritania & Angola Squad Analysis
Mauritania are struggling to score and haven’t done so in four outings. It hasn’t been to lack of effort though as against Burkina Faso, they had nine attempts with four on target. Aboubakary Koita was one of Mauritania’s bright sparks in that opener and should again be picked to lead the line. Hemeya Tanjy started against Burkina Faso but was withdrawn with a hamstring injury. The forward, who is one of the most capped players for Mauritania in the current lineup, has scored seven goals for his country. His potential unavailability will be a big blow for the Lions.
Mabululu has now scored eight goals for his country. His goal against Algeria could see him pencilled in to play from the start against Mauritania. Gelson Dala however should maintain his place at the tip of Angola’s attack despite not having an effective game against Algeria. The Al-Wakrah forward is the top scorer in the current Angolan set-up and has scored 14 times for his country. One of his goals came in a 4-1 thumping of Mauritania in an AFCON qualifier in 2018.

Our Mauritania vs Angola Prediction
Our prediction for Mauritania v Angola is for the match to end in a draw. The last two matches between these two nations ended in 0-0 draws. One of those games came in the last edition of the AFCON. This is likely to happen again given how hard both teams have found it to win coming into this match.
Mauritania vs Angola - Other Interesting Predictions
Under 2.5 goals
For our second take, we settle for the match to produce under 2.5 goals. Both Angola and Mauritania aren’t prolific sides and are at the moment finding it hard to score. They've however been strong in defence and have frustrated teams. Defence should again take centre stage in this meeting and this should result in a low-scoring outcome.
