Togo vs Mauritania Prediction: The hosts stand a better chance here, and we expect a decent start from them

Togo will strive to secure their first three points of the group when they host Mauritania at the Stade de Kegue Stadium on Saturday. It's so strange to see the Togo National Team struggling in this competition and their hope of making it to the World Cup might be halted if they lose against their guests tomorrow. 

Togo

FIFA Ranking: 119th

Last four games: DDDL

The Sparrowhawks have had a difficult time in this competition, heading here with four games without a breakthrough. The Togo National Team began their journey with a share of the spoils against Sudan and settled for a tie at home when they hosted Senegal. They also failed to win against lowly ranked South Sudan and lost by just a goal against DR Congo on the road. It has been a disappointing journey so far as they occupy the fourth spot on the log and only a win can revive them here. 

Unfortunately, the Togo National Team won’t play in the forthcoming AFCON tournament and it’ll affect their FIFA ranking.

Togo's previous appearance in this competition secured them a second-place finish; unfortunately, it was Senegal who made it out of the group after going six games without defeat.

Mauritania

FIFA Ranking: 109th

Last four games: LDLL

The visitors have failed to win any of their last four FIFA World Cup qualifying games, losing three and sharing the spoils once. Most recently, they were stunned on their ground against Senegal, conceding once. Mauritania are definitely not going to witness the AFCON 2025 in Morocco after wrapping up their AFCON qualifiers in third place. 

Mauritania have shown no atom of fight in this group, as they sit at the bottom of the top. Mauritania squad are 90% home-based but have been playing as a team under their new Spain coach Arite Lopez Garai.

Expert Betting Tips

Togo have been nothing short of disappointing in this competition, considering their pedigree and the quality of their squad. They literally have players who are doing well for their club, even though it’s in the local leagues. On the other hand, Mauritania have been below par, losing three of their last four FIFA World Cup qualifying matches.

Both teams haven’t been convincing in this tournament but the Togo National Team are way better and possess more quality players. The SparrowHawks can’t afford to drop points on their ground, and I expect them to exert dominance over a stubborn Mauritania team; bet on a home win for 1.75 at (Bet365).

I also think Togo might start strong and probably get a goal before the break for 2.01 at (1xbet).

This game will end in a win and under 2.5 goals for 2.50 at (Betway).

Good luck!
