In the second round of CAF 2026 World Cup qualifiers, Mauritius and Angola are set to clash at Cote d'Or National Sports Complex on Tuesday.
Preview
Mauritius faced a 3-0 defeat against Cameroon's Indomitable Lions in their recent qualifier, with Bryan Mbeumo, Georges-Kevin N'Koudou, and Frank Magri securing victory for the opponents. Les Dodos, on a dismal run with just one win in four matches, aim to rebound against Angola, who suffered a defeat in their last encounter in July.
Angola, following a goalless draw with Cape Verde, seeks a solid defensive display away from home. With three consecutive draws since their last defeat in mid-September, the Black Sable Antelopes aim for stability.
Team News
- Midfielder Fredy is likely to maintain his place in the Angola starting lineup, approaching his half-century of international appearances.
- Agostinho Mabululu, with five goals in his last six matches, remains one to watch.
- Fidy Rasoanaivo may consider changes in the attacking unit for Mauritius after consecutive scoreless matches.
- Francois Aurelien, who had an underwhelming performance, might be dropped to the bench.
KICKOFF TIME
The match is scheduled to kick-off at 16:00 GMT (4:00 PM).
PREDICTION
Mauritius 1-1 Angola
