Last five H2Hs: First meeting in 11 years

Guinea and Mozambique haven’t crossed paths in more than a decade, however, the last time they played each other, the Guineans enjoyed a thumping 6-1 win. Margins are likely to be slimmer this time around, however.

Guinea preview: Hosts to stick with 3-5-2 formation?

Guinea overcame a tough test of their qualification credentials in midweek when they won 2-1 at Algeria. They were deployed in a fluid 3-5-2 formation on that occasion and they could stick with the same set-up against Mozambique following their success.

Predicted lineup: Kone (GK), Balde, Sow, Jeanvier, Diakite, I.Sylla, Toure, Diawara, Camara, M. Sylla, Guirassy

Mozambique preview: Visitors could name the same XI

Mozambique are one of four sides sitting on six points in Group G and their slender 2-1 win over Somalia on Friday afternoon contributed to their impressive early tally. Mozambique were fielded in a 4-4-3 shape in that win, so expect similar this week.

Predicted lineup: Ernan (GK), Macandza, Mexer, Reinildo, Langa, Domingues, Guima, Amade, Catamo, Witi, Ratifo

Player to watch – Serhou Guirassy

Serhou Guirassy is expected to be a man in demand this summer following his sensational campaign for Stuttgart in the recent Bundesliga season. The striker netted 28 times in 28 league appearances for the highfliers, though he hasn’t as of yet, managed to replicate that devastating form at international level.

Guirassy aiming to end national team dry spell

Guirassy has amassed 12 caps for Guinea, however, his return of just three goals for his country is a meagre tally for a player of his talents. The attacker hasn’t scored for Guinea since netting a consolation goal in a friendly against Brazil in June 2023, and he will be itching to end his barren spell.
