Ethiopia are predicted to win to nil against Mozambique in their Group J Africa Cup of Nations qualifier, following a 1-0 away victory over Mozambique in their previous meeting. Ethiopia have demonstrated strong home form, winning three of their last five home fixtures and conceding only three goals in that span. Mozambique, by contrast, have lost four of their last five away matches and conceded 11 goals in those games. These trends support the tip for Ethiopia to secure another win without conceding.

Ethiopia vs Mozambique Predictions


Ethiopia registered their first win in Group J and have had success at home in recent outings. Mozambique suffered their first defeat in their previous qualifier and have been struggling to win on the road recently. Ethiopia are predicted to win to nil.

  • Ethiopia have won 3 of their last 5 home fixtures.
  • Ethiopia have scored 5 goals in 5 home games.
  • Ethiopia have conceded 3 goals in 5 home matches.
  • Mozambique have lost 4 of their last 5 away fixtures.
  • Mozambique have scored 5 goals in 5 away matches.

Head to Head


Ethiopia have a slight edge over Mozambique, with two victories to none, including one draw in three meetings. 

Ethiopia Form


Ethiopia pulled off a shock victory in their qualifying match against Mozambique last weekend, winning 1-0 away from home. 

Ethiopia had 29% possession and 11 shots in the game, with five attempts on target.

The Walia Ibex are last in the Group J standings with three points after three rounds. 

In September, the Walias recorded back-to-back defeats in their opening Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, losing 1-0 away to Sudan and 1-0 to Senegal at home. 

Ethiopia have won two of their last five matches, with two defeats and one draw. They scored three goals and conceded three. 

The Walias have registered three victories in their last five home fixtures, with one defeat and one draw. They scored five goals and conceded three. 

Ethiopia will be pleased to have picked up their first three points of their qualifying campaign and will have the belief that they can beat Mozambique for the second consecutive time in as many meetings, as their opponents have lost four of their last five away games. 

Mozambique Form


Mozambique dominated proceedings in their qualifying match against Ethiopia, but dropped points at home, losing 1-0 to their opponents. 

The Mambas had 71% possession and 17 shots in the match, with three attempts on target. 

Mozambique are second in the Group J table with four points from three matches. 

Before that disappointing result, Mozambique began their AFCON qualifiers with a 1-1 draw with Senegal before thumping Sudan 4-1 at home. 

The Mambas have won one of their last five fixtures, with three defeats and one draw. They scored six goals and conceded eight.

The Southern African team have secured one victory in their last five away matches, with four defeats.

Mozambique will rue their missed opportunities in their previous fixture and face a tricky test away to Ethiopia, as their hosts have been in solid form at home, having won three of their last five games.
