Tip and bets

2.07Handicap (-1) to Ivory Coast

The teams haven't played against each other for a long time. At the moment, the visitors lead the head-to-head. Ivory Coast have shown great results in recent fixtures and topped their group in the Africa Cup of Nations qualification. Their lineup is head and shoulders above Mozambique.

We believe that the Elephants will attack from the first minutes, and will score a confident victory.

Our prediction - Asian handicap (1) to Ivory Coast.

1.74Total under 2.5 goals

Mozambique struggle in attack against teams with strong defense lines, and we think that it will be very difficult for the hosts to net a goal against Ivory Coast. The Elephants, on the other hand, do not score a lot in away games, and will probably be happy with one or two goals. We expect the visitors to control the game and keep the total under the 2.5 mark.

Second wager - total under 2.5 goals.
