Mozambique vs Ghana Prediction & Match Preview

• Mozambique have 2 draws and 12 defeats in 14 AFCON games in their history.
• Ghana looked much better in the second round against Egypt.
• Mohammed Kudus completed a brace in the 2-2 stalemate with Egypt on Thursday.

Ghana will search for their first win at the 2024 African Cup of Nations on Monday evening when they take on Mozambique in the last round of the group phase. The two teams hold the bottom-two positions in Group B, having claimed just a point each so far in the tournament.

Ghana bounced back from a shocking inaugural defeat to Cape Verde (1-2) by producing a much stronger display in the second round against group favorites Egypt. The main catalyst for such an improved performance was West Ham’s star Mohammed Kudus who scored both of his nation’s goals in the mentioned stalemate with the Pharaohs.

Ghana had an advantage on two separate occasions against Egypt but their cheap defensive mistakes allowed the rivals to come back into the tie on the occasion. They are now up against Mozambique whose potential 2024 fairytale turned into a disaster after a tough 0-3 defeat to Cape Verde on Friday afternoon.

Mozambique were moments away from their first AFCON win eight days ago but Mohamed Salah’s last-gasp penalty denied them a win against Egypt. After a 2-2 heroics against the Pharaohs, we expect a lot from Mozambique in the second round clash with Cape Verde. Nevertheless, they lost 0-3, barely threatening the rivalling goalkeeper on the occasion.

Mozambique vs Ghana Prediction

Mohammed Kudus’ return to Ghana’s starting lineup made the Black Stars much more creative and dangerous in the final third. Ghana left a much better impression overall in the second round against Egypt. They possess much more quality in their ranks than Mozambique and we expect them to ease their way to a commanding victory on Monday. Ghana are 2.40 to have the lead at the half time and win the match at the end. We also must say that Mozambique have a horrendous record of 0 wins, 2 draws, and 12 defeats in the previous 14 African Cup of Nations games.

Mozambique shipped five goals in two matches in the tournament so far. Mohammed Kudus is by far the most dangerous attacker in this Ghana team. He completed a brace four days ago against Egypt. You can back the West Ham winger to score anytime at the 3.10 odds.
