As the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) unfolds, Friday promises a thrilling spectacle with Cape Verde battling Mozambique and Senegal locking horns with Cameroon.
Cape Verde vs. Mozambique (Friday, 2.00 pm)
Cape Verde aims for AFCON group qualification against Mozambique at the Felix Houphouet Boigny Stadium. The Blue Sharks started their Group B journey with a victory over Ghana, while Mozambique faced late misery against seven-time champions Egypt.
- Prediction: Cape Verde 2-1 Mozambique
Undefeated in three encounters with Mozambique, Cape Verde looks poised to extend their unbeaten streak to four, securing progress to the round of 16. Anticipate a match with under 3.5 goals.
Senegal vs. Cameroon (Friday, 5.00 pm)
In the crucial second round of Group C matches, Senegal faces Cameroon at the Charles Konan Banny Stadium. This clash between defending champions Senegal and five-time winners Cameroon is a highlight of matchday 2.
- Prediction: Senegal 1-0 Cameroon
Senegal, a standout team in this year’s AFCON, appears solid in defense. The Lions of Teranga are likely to shut out a less-than-impressive Cameroon side in a low-scoring affair, with predictions indicating under 3.5 goals.
Guinea vs. Gambia (Friday, 8.00 pm)
Guinea seeks to build on a positive AFCON start against Gambia at the Charles Konan Banny Stadium. Group C, dubbed the “group of death,” sees Senegal leading, having secured the only win in the group during the first round.
- Prediction: Guinea 2-0 Gambia
Unlucky not to secure three points against Cameroon, Guinea aims to make amends against a struggling Gambia side.
Expect an impressive display from the National Elephants, securing their first win with predictions favoring under 3.5 goals.
Friday’s AFCON matchups promise intense football action and potential upsets as teams vie for supremacy in this prestigious continental competition.
