Gabon and Mozambique face off with Gabon being the favorites, having won 3 out of their 4 past meetings. Despite both teams losing their opening Africa Cup of Nations games, Gabon's consistent performance, highlighted by their World Cup qualifying campaign, gives them an edge. Meanwhile, Mozambique struggles with offensive threats, underlining their defensive reliance. With key players like Aubameyang potentially starting, Gabon is well-positioned to secure a win to nil with a predicted 1-0 scoreline.

Gabon vs Mozambique Predictions


Gabon are favourites to win but at close to even money, offer great value. Both sides lost their opening games 1-0 but Gabon have far more about them while Mozambique tend to rely heavily on defence. I am backing Gabon to win this fixture.

  • Gabon are unbeaten in 6 of their last 7 matches (in 90 minutes).
  • Gabon have won 3 of their 4 matches against Mozambique.
  • Gabon have scored in 4 of their last 5 matches.
  • Mozambique have lost 3 of their last 4 matches.
  • Mozambique are winless in their last 4 matches.

Head to Head


Gabon lead 3-1 in their four matches against Mozambique.

Gabon Form


Gabon had a stellar World Cup qualifying campaign, losing just once in the group stage but unfortunately still only finished second. That meant they had to go to the playoffs where they suffered a 4-1 defeat to Nigeria on 13 November 2025.

That was their last game before coming into the Africa Cup of Nations. In their opening AFCON fixture, Gabon will count themselves unfortunate to have lost 1-0 to Cameroon.

The Indomitable Lions took a 6th minute lead and Gabon couldn’t find a way through thereafter. The stats show it was a pretty even game with Gabon having the better of possession and 14 shots on goal, three of which were on target – the same as Cameroon.

Mozambique Form


Mozambique are not historically a great threat in the Africa Cup of Nations but they have in recent years become a more competitive outfit. They have also put in some impressive performances this year, none more so than in their 1-0 defeat to Morocco in November this year.

Unfortunately, the Southern African nation drew 2-2 against Chad thereafter and lost 4-1 to Angola in friendlies. Their opening AFCON game ended in a 1-0 loss to Ivory Coast on Christmas Eve.

Mozambique were their usual stubborn selves at the back and looked comfortably for most of the match. They conceded in the 49th minute but seldom threatened to level.

Throughout the game, Mozambique only had three shots on goal, two of which were on target and 44% possession. They will need to find away to offer more threat going forward if they are to get results.

Gabon vs Mozambique Team News & Predicted Line Up


Gabon: Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang came off the bench in the opener, as did Mario Lemina. Both of them offer plenty of experience and could start on Sunday.

Possible Starting Line Up: (4-3-3) - Mbaba; Oyono, Ecuele Manga, Mouckettou-Mossounda, Ekomia; Openda, Poko, Ndong; Aubameyang, Bouanga, Lemina

Mozambique: Mozambique have yet to win an AFCON match in 16 attempts and they’ve never progressed past the group stage. Scoring goals will be the difference this year, and if they can find a couple here, they may be in a position to qualify for the KO rounds for the first time ever.

Possible Startling Line Up: Siluane; Diogo Calila, Mexer, Mandava, Langa; Kambala; Catamo, Amade, Guima, Ratifo; Witi

Verdict

Gabon are backed to win to nil against Mozambique. A 1-0 scoreline is forecast.
