Mozambique vs Nigeria Prediction and Betting Tips | October 16th 2023 

Mozambique will face Nigeria at the Estádio Municipal de Albufeira on Monday in a friendly clash between the two teams.

The home side had mixed results in the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers but ultimately secured a spot in the final tournament next year after winning their final two matches in the group. They played out a 1-1 draw against Angola in a friendly clash last time out, with Sporting CP's Geny Catamo opening the scoring midway through the second half before their opponents scored a late leveler.

Mozambique will be looking to give a good account of themselves when they face one of the continent's powerhouses next Monday as they gear up for the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers next month and the African Cup of Nations in January.

Nigeria were in action against Saudi Arabia on Friday, playing out a 2-2 draw against the Roberto Mancini-led side at the Estádio Municipal de Portimão. They perhaps deserved more from the game as they were quite clearly the better side but had to settle for a draw after their opponents scored two free-kicks in the second half.

The Super Eagles will be gutted not to have come away with the win on Friday and will be looking to bounce back from that next week.
