Mozambique U20 vs Senegal U20 Prediction: Another low goal scoring match expected

The ongoing Under-20 African Cup of Nations will have the teams of Mozambique and Senegal face off against each other in the second round of matches. Mozambique and Egypt, the tournament's hosts, played to a scoreless draw in their opening match, while Senegal edged out Nigeria for a narrow victory.

Mozambique - an important match for the Os Mambas

After playing Egypt to a draw in their first match, Mozambique will be hoping for a winning performance when they take the field again. Yet, a significant amount of attention will be directed toward the Os Mambas in order to determine whether or not they are able to maintain their level of play when competing against another difficult top club. Before their most recent defeat in the playoffs at the hands of Zambia U20, the Os Mambas side had previously won four matches in a row over the following teams: Seychelles, Angola, South Africa, and Lesotho. As of right now, the Os Mambas are in third place in the Group A standings, tied for one point with Egypt U20.

Senegal - eyes knockout qualification

Senegal will play this encounter with great confidence, with the goal of securing a victory and advancing to the knockout round of the competition. As a result of their earlier win over Nigeria by a score of 1-0, the Young Lions of Teranga are currently in first place in the standings for Group A with three points. Despite this, they are the favorites to win this battle, and there is no question that they will want to match the level of play they showed against Nigeria, as well as control the tempo of the game and have more possession of the ball. But, because they were able to play the host nation to a draw in their first match, they are aware of what Mozambique is capable of. As a result, we anticipate that they will be able to pull off a great defensive performance as well as an attacking one.

Expert Betting Tips

There is no question that we will see another difficult and exciting competition. While Mozambique demonstrated their capabilities against Egypt, Senegal's outstanding performance against Nigeria only served to highlight why they should be considered the favorites to win this encounter. As a result, I am looking forward to another game with a low total number of goals scored, which I anticipate will end in Senegal's favor. Hence, a wager on under 1.5 goals is also a good one, as I can only see the Young Teranga coming out with a result of 0-1 in this matchup.
