Gabon vs Mozambique Prediction Africa Cup of Nations
Gabon vs Mozambique Prediction and Betting Tips for the Africa Cup of Nations, scheduled for December 28, 2025, at 12:30 GMT. The match will be broadcast live on Channel 4 and 4Seven. The clash takes place at the Stade Adrar in Agadir, with both sides desperate for points after 1-0 losses in their opening fixtures. Gabon looked bright in spells against Cameroon but lacked that finishing touch. Meanwhile, Mozambique held their own against the Ivory Coast but ultimately couldn’t find an equalizer. In this article, you’ll discover Football Stats And Tips from XpertStats tipsters.
- Gabon entered the tournament with a six-match unbeaten streak but lost their opener 1-0 to Cameroon.
- Mozambique has never won a match in the Africa Cup of Nations finals in 16 previous attempts.
- The Panthers have won four of the seven historical head-to-head meetings between these two nations.
- Mozambique’s defense has been shaky lately, conceding eight goals across their last four international outings.
- Gabon failed to score in their opening match despite registering 12 shots on goal against the Indomitable Lions.
- Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Mario Lemina started on the bench last time out but are expected to feature prominently here.
The Panthers find themselves in a bit of a spot. Thierry Mouyouma’s men arrived in Morocco with plenty of momentum, but that opening loss to Cameroon was a wake-up call. They dominated possession at times and created chances, but the lack of clinical finishing was painful to watch. Can Aubameyang really turn things around if he starts this time? It feels likely. Gabon usually thrives on the counter, and with Lemina potentially anchoring the middle, they should control the tempo better. Historically, they have the edge over their opponents, and their defense remains relatively solid despite the recent slip-up.
Gabon faces a crucial Group F encounter against Mozambique at the Adrar Stadium this Sunday, with both teams seeking their first points of the 2025 AFCON. Following a narrow 1-0 defeat to Cameroon, Panthers coach Thierry Mouyouma will likely lean on the experience of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Mario Lemina. Meanwhile, Mozambique aims to break their winless streak after a resilient showing against defending champions Ivory Coast.
The primary reason for backing Under 2.5 Goals in this fixture lies in the recent form and opening-round results of both nations. Both Gabon and Mozambique suffered narrow 1-0 defeats in their first group matches. This suggests that while their defenses are relatively organized, their attacking units are struggling to find rhythm in the high-pressure environment of a major tournament. Gabon managed 12 shots against Cameroon but failed to convert a single one, showing a lack of clinical edge. Mozambique, meanwhile, focused almost entirely on a low-block defensive structure against Ivory Coast. With both teams knowing that a second consecutive loss would likely result in an early exit from the competition, expect a very conservative tactical approach. Neither manager will want to commit too many players forward early on, leading to a match played primarily in the middle third with very few clear-cut scoring opportunities.
