Mozambique is coming off a strong start in the COSAFA Cup with a narrow victory against South Africa, setting the stage for their upcoming match against Mauritius. Despite Mauritius earning a point with Zimbabwe, they have struggled to secure wins, particularly against Mozambique. Mozambique's robust form in recent editions positions them as favorites for this matchup, with predictions leaning towards a 2-0 victory. Key players like António Sumbane will be crucial for Mozambique's success, while Mauritius faces challenges in breaking their winless streak.

Head to Head


Mozambique have a slight edge with one victory to none over Mauritius, including one draw in two meetings in the COSAFA Cup. 

Mozambique edged Mauritius 1-0 in the 2023 edition of the competition. 

Mozambique Form 


Mozambique began their 2025 COSAFA Cup campaign with a narrow 1-0 victory against hosts South Africa mid-week. 

Before that result, Mozambique finished third overall at last year's competition. They drew 1-1 against South Africa, 0-0 against Eswatini, and beat Botswana 3-1 in the group stages.
Mozambique lost 4-2 on penalties against Namibia in the semi-final after the score ended 0-0, but defeated Comoros 3-1 on penalties in the third/fourth place playoff after drawing 2-2. 

The Mambas have won three of their last five fixtures in the COSAFA Cup, including one loss and one draw. They scored six goals and conceded three.

Mozambique will fancy their chances of pocketing another three points when taking on a Mauritius side that has failed to win in four outings in this competition.
