Mozambique vs Guinea Prediction & Betting Tips (9 October)

Mozambique and Guinea clash in a pivotal Group G qualifier for the 2026 World Championship , with our prediction favoring a narrow 2-1 win for Guinea. Both teams enter the match with renewed confidence and full-strength squads, setting the stage for a fiercely contested encounter.

Guinea, under the steady guidance of head coach Kaba Diawara, have hit a rich vein of form, winning their last three matches, including a gritty 2-1 victory over Algeria. The Syli National’s attacking prowess has been on full display, netting 13 goals in their last three outings. Morlaye Sylla continues to be the heartbeat of their offense, scoring five times in his last three appearances, while Aguibou Camara and Serhou Guirassy provide additional firepower. With no injuries or suspensions, Diawara is expected to stick with his successful 5-3-2 formation, anchored by veteran defender Issiaga Sylla, who is closing in on a national record with 81 caps.



Mozambique, led by Chiquinho Conde, bounced back from a winless streak with a 2-1 triumph over Somalia. The victory was powered by early goals from Alfons Amade and Stanley Ratifo, signaling a return to form for the Mambas. Reinildo Mandava and Bruno Langa offer stability at the back, while Geny Catamo and Witi bring pace and flair to the attack. The team’s 4-3-3 setup has shown promise, and with no injuries reported, Conde has the luxury of fielding his strongest XI. However, Mozambique’s defensive frailties on the road—six straight away games without a clean sheet—could be their undoing.

Historically, Guinea have had the upper hand in this fixture, winning three of the last six meetings. Mozambique have managed just one win, with two draws between them. With both sides level on six points in Group G, the stakes couldn’t be higher. Expect Guinea’s attacking momentum and home advantage to tip the balance. A 2-1 scoreline in favor of the Syli National feels just right—reflecting their recent form and Mozambique’s vulnerability away from home.

• Summary: Mozambique is going head to head with Guinea starting on 9 Oct 2025 at 16:00 UTC at Estadio do Zimpeto stadium, Maputo city, Mozambique. The match is a part of the World Cup Qualification, CAF, Group G .
