Mauritania and South Sudan aren’t in the picture as far as contention for 2026 World Cup places is concerned. The two nations' Round 8 match in Group B is more of a formality. We have a prediction for it below.
Hosts Mauritania finally conjured up a win in this group, beating Togo 2-0 to rise to fourth place. With five points earned so far, Mauritania can’t finish in the top two.
They can bag a fourth straight win, though, having exited the CHAN finals off the back of two straight wins. In their previous eight outings before this three-game winning stretch, Mauritania were winless and had failed to score in five matches.
South Sudan are one of the two nations in this group still in search of the first win. They have managed just three points from the seven opening matches in the group, and just like Mauritania, their journey is over.
One major thing the visitors can play for here is a first-ever victory over Mauritania. These two nations have faced off three times before, and South Sudan have never posted a win.
They avoided defeat in their first meeting in the pool, though, playing to a 0-0 draw. Away games rarely bring out the best of South Sudan either; they are winless in 10, and their only loss to Mauritania was also on the road.

Our Mauritania vs South Sudan Prediction
South Sudan have a poor record on the road and will come into this game as the underdogs. They failed to win any of their previous 10 away matches, and it seems their chase for a first win in this group will extend. Apart from that kind of form, they also don’t have the best numbers in attack in this fixture.
In the last two meetings with Mauritania, they failed to score. While Mauritania aren’t in their best shape either, three straight wins will pump them up. Our prediction for Mauritania v South Sudan is for Mauritania to win with a clean sheet.
