Africa: Africa Cup of Nations
Gabon vs Mozambique
Gabon is entering the second round of the African Cup of Nations from the 3rd position without any points, after losing in the first round. In their last few matches, they have had mixed results and limited goal scoring, which was evident in their recent loss to Cameroon with a score of 1-0. Previously, they failed to secure a spot in the World Cup after losing to Nigeria in the playoff semifinals.
Offensively, the team relies on individual talent, but they often struggle with finishing and creating clear chances. Their defense is generally solid, but it can weaken under prolonged pressure. Aubameyang remains a key player, bringing experience and leadership, although he doesn’t always get enough support from the midfield. Their style of play is mostly pragmatic, focusing on a strong structure and waiting for mistakes from the opponent.
Mozambique is also without points in the group after a narrow loss to Ivory Coast. In their recent matches, they have shown inconsistent form, with a goal difference that indicates limited offensive power, but they also have a strong defense, and each of their last 5 games ended with fewer than three goals. The team struggles to score, and their defense is often under pressure.
However, they can be dangerous offensively through transitions and counterattacks. Key players include Catamo and Ratifo, who are the biggest threats in attack. They play carefully, with a deeper block and a greater focus on discipline. Their style of play is combative, with a lot of running, but they have limited control of possession.
Both teams come under pressure after losing in the first round and will approach this match more cautiously. Gabon will have more initiative, while Mozambique will wait for counterattacks. A tough and uncertain match with a low number of goals is expected.
0-2 (Under 2.5)
Odds: 1.61

Key players include Amoura, who is the main attacking threat, and Bounedjah, who brings experience and finishing skills. In this match, they are the favorites, dominating possession and pace, often setting their rhythm from the start. Their style of play is based on technical superiority, quick combinations, and control of the midfield.
Burkina Faso also has 3 points and is in second place in the group after their 2:1 victory over Equatorial Guinea in the first round. Their form is positive, with 5 consecutive wins across all competitions, and a solid goal difference that shows a good balance between attack and defense. Offensively, they rely on direct play and physical strength, while defensively they can be compact, but not always stable under prolonged pressure.
The most dangerous players are Traore and Ouattara, who bring speed and finishing ability in the final third. They play carefully, with a deeper block and focus on transitions. Their style is combative and energetic, emphasizing duels and taking advantage of the opponent’s mistakes.
Algeria will have more possession and initiative, while Burkina Faso will try to respond with strength and counterattacks. A tactical match is expected with a controlled pace, but both teams have excellent attacks and are in great form, so we expect at least one goal from each side.
