Our prediction for this World Cup 2026 match:
Guinea play host to Mozambique at their Ben M’Hamed El Abdi Stadium in what is expected to be one of the most interesting games of Monday’s program. The National Elephants are eyeing their fourth consecutive win in all competitions and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. Stuttgart striker Serhou Guirassy should keep his place in the starting XI despite failing to find the net in a 2-1 win over Algeria.
Mozambique, on the other hand, did well to beat Somalia in front of home fans on Friday, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry against Guinea. In their last meeting in a competitive match Guinea crushed Mozambique 6-1 and yet another high-scoring game is on the horizon. Barring any fresh injury worries, Conde Chiquinho is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated the Ocean Stars.
Highlighted Team (Guinea):
Nicknamed the National Elephants, Guinea national team are affiliated to the Guinea Football Federation. Guinea qualified for their 12th Africa Cup of Nations and they will face the likes of Nigeria, Madagascar and Burundi in the group stages of the tournament in Egypt.
The National Elephants have yet to win the Africa Cup of Nations, but they were on the verge of going all the way at the tournament in Ethiopia back in 1976. Guinea finished the final round in second place in the standings, only one point behind champions Morocco.
The National Elephants wear red socks, yellow shorts and green socks when welcoming their rivals, whilst their away colours are yellow and red. Guinea suffered a 2-1 loss to Togo in their first international game (May, 1962). The African side recorded their biggest win against Mauritania (14-0) on May, 1972), whilst a 6-0 loss to Zaire (July, 1972) is considered the biggest defeat in the history of the national team.
