Mozambique arrive to Marrakech with ambition ahead of their 2025 AFCON opener, but given their negative H2H record against Ivory Coast, our prediction firmly points toward a 1-0 home win. The Elephants did remarkably well to qualify for the 2026 World Cup finals, but they have big ambitions for the showpiece tournament in Morocco as well. The fact that they have been conceding only 0.20 goals per game of late definitely supports our betting prediction. Utrecht striker Sebastian Haller has been ruled out with injury, but Ivory Coast boss Emerse Fae is surely capable of filling the gap.
Os Mambas, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 4-1 loss to Angola in their last warm-up game. As Mozambique have been conceding 1.40 goals per game, we do not believe that they are capable of shocking Ivory Coast at Stade de Marrakech. Adding to their woes, midfielder Pepo Santos misses the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations with injury.
In their last meeting in a competitive match, Ivory Coast defeated Mozambique 3-0, with the Elephants keeping a clean sheet in 80% of their previous encounters with Os Mambas. Therefore, Home Win, Mozambique to Keep a Clean Sheet and Under 2.5 goals bets should be considered.
This Africa Cup of Nations 2025 match will be played on Wednesday 24 December 2025 at 17:30.
