Mozambique vs Ghana Prediction & Betting Tips - AFCON
by Daniel Ngulu in AFCON Predictions
A second straight group stage exit is staring at Ghana if they fail to beat Mozambique in their final AFCON Group B game. A shaky start to the competition sees Ghana go into Match Day 2 with just a point, facing bottom placed Mozambique. Just like Ghana, Mozambique will also be seeking their first win at the 2023 AFCON.

Mozambique - Ghana: Form Analysis
Mozambique had a strong start to this competition and almost nicked a win off Egypt on Match Day 1. A costly error in stoppage time would however see Egypt earn a penalty that was converted by Mo Salah for a 2-2 draw. Mozambique’s quest to build on the positive opening fell flat as they were thrashed 3-0 by Cape Verde on Match Day 2. They are hereby faced with a must-win situation if they are to proceed, which makes this one very tough game. The fact that they have just one clean sheet in nine matches points to a weak defence. It will be more concerning for the Mambas that they’ve conceded at least twice in six of their last nine matches. Mozambique’s only win in the last five matches was against minnows Lesotho. Taking on Ghana will be a massive scale-up from that in terms of the opposition’s strength. It won’t help either that in their two meetings with Ghana previously, they failed to win any, losing one. A win here may not be enough for either nation but will almost certainly place them in line to advance as one of the best third-placed teams.
Ghana last faced Mozambique in 2016, in a 2017 AFCON qualifier which Ghana won 3-1 on aggregate. They face off here again with both sides needing a win to stay in this competition. By their sheer strength and depth in the team, Ghana will rightly feel as the favorites here. However, as they’ve come to realize, that may fail to reflect on the pitch. In fact, their last two defeats at AFCON were against sides rated underdogs. Ghana are coming from a 2-2 draw with Egypt on Match Day 2. That was a marked improvement after their opening 2-1loss to Cape Verde. Like Mozambique though, Ghana are also struggling defensively, and have already let in four goals in two games at AFCON 2023. A run of four matches without a win will still haunt them coming into this game, definitely not a reflection of a continental giant. Ghana have managed just a win in their last seven matches, losing four times in the run. The disillusion among their fans was clear after their Match Day 2 result. It doesn’t help also that Ghana haven't won in their last six AFCON matches.

Mozambique & Ghana Squad Analysis
Mohamed Kudus returned to good effect for Ghana on Match Day 2. Unfortunately, his brace couldn’t get Ghana over the line. In his club and country form, Kudus will definitely be the man to watch again here after appearing not to suffer any setbacks. It wasn’t however the best day for Osman Bukari, who was subbed in and out after an error prone short period. He was culpable for Egypt’s second equalizer and may have run out his time at AFCON. Inaki Williams, who was also to blame for Egypt’s first goal, may however get the chance to redeem himself, largely due to his experience.

Mozambique vs Ghana - Other Interesting Predictions
Mohamed Kudus to score
West Ham United forward Mohamed Kudus has scored four times in Ghana’s last nine matches. We expect him to be central in this game, given the need for a win here. Part of this strategy could see manager Chris Hughton deploy attacking flankers to support and supply him. In his club and country form. With veteran Andre Ayew having been an unused sub in the draw with Egypt, he will be a good pick as a support for Kudus and the Le Havre forward has a good run in goal contributions for Ghana. With him upfront, we will back Kudus to score here.
