Head to Head

Mozambique Form


Mozambique dropped vital FIFA World Cup qualifying points after crashing to a heavy 4-0 defeat away to Uganda last weekend.

Mozambique had moments to score in the first half against Uganda, but failed to put the ball in the back of the net. 

The second half would prove disastrous for the Mambas, as Uganda scored in the 48th, 70th, 84th, and 90th minutes of the match. 

Mozambique are 3rd in Group G with 12 points from seven matches. They have won four and lost three.

The Mambas have won two of their last five fixtures, including three defeats. They scored six goals and let in 12 at the back.

Mozambique produced a below-par performance in their previous outing, but they have an excellent record against Botswana, winning five of their seven encounters.

Goalkeepers: Ivane Urrubal, Kimiss Zavala, Ernan Siluane
Defenders: Bruno Langa, Reinildo Mandava, Infren Matola, Diogo Calila, Oscar Cherene, Francisco “Chico” Muchanga, Edson “Mexer” Sitoe, Fernando Chambo

Botswana Form 


Botswana dropped three points in their FIFA World Cup qualifying match against Algeria last week, losing 3-1.

Botswana conceded after 33 minutes of play before equalising ten minutes later to go into the break on level terms.

The Zebras conceded for a second time in the 71st minute of the match and again six minutes into second-half stoppage time. 

Botswana are 4th in the World Cup Group G table with nine points from seven matches. They have won three and lost four.

The Zebras have secured one victory in their last five matches, including two defeats and two draws. They scored six goals and conceded eight.

Botswana have lacked consistency lately and have not enjoyed much success against Mozambique in recent clashes, losing three in a row.
