In an AFCON qualifiers second-leg match, Mauritius and Somalia strive for a decisive outcome after a goalless draw in their first encounter. While Mauritius will try to leverage their home-ground advantage, their recent form shows a lack of goals with only one scored in the last five matches. Somalia, having recently triumphed in away games against Bahrain, come into the fixture with higher chances of success. Predictions lean towards a 1-0 victory for Somalia, suggesting they are better poised to advance to the next round.
