Angola vs Mauritania Prediction: Expect an exciting round of two match

In the second round of matches for the 2023 African Nations Championship, Angola will face Mauritania. Mali played Angola to a tie in the opening encounter of both teams' tournaments, while Mauritania will compete in their first match of the competition. Both sides come into this match in excellent shape, so we anticipate an intense contest between the two of them.

An exciting 3-3 draw was the result of Angola's match against Mali's Eagles on Monday. Both teams were playing for bragging rights, but Angola had to settle for a share of the spoils after the match. Dilson scored twice in the first half, and Gilberto scored in the 72nd minute to put Pedro Goncalves' team up 3-1 and seemingly in control of the game. However, Yoro Diaby and Ousmane Coulibaly scored in the final few minutes to bring the score back to even. As a consequence of this, the Black Antelopes are currently tied for first place in their CHAN group with Mali, despite the fact that Mali has played one game more than Mauritania at this point in time. Twelve years have passed since Angola competed in the sole grand final of the African Nations Championship, and the country is currently in the midst of a pivotal matchup in their attempt to stave off an early elimination this time around.

On Monday, Mauritania completed their preparations for the African Nations Championship with an easy 2-0 victory over the Dama gazelles of the Niger Republic. The win was Mauritania's final training match. Hemeya Tanjy scored the first goal for Harouna Doula's team in the 19th minute, and then Bessam scored the insurance goal for his team just over a minute and a half later. The Lions of Chinguetti have now prevailed in six of their most recent seven matches across all competitions either side of the new year. Following this, the test will come from an adversary outfit that does not have much of an advantage over them, as the three previous matches between these sides have resulted in one win for each side and one tie. Mauritania will be eager to get off to a winning start in their CHAN trip this year after failing to go past the group rounds in either of their previous two attempts at this level of competition.

This match is going to be difficult, but it will also be exciting. Both sides are expected to perform at their highest possible level. On the other hand, we foresee Angola emerging victorious from this match with a narrow margin of victory.
