Mozambique and Eswatini are set to face off this Friday in a crucial match as the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers continue. Both teams, familiar with one another from previous encounters, will be looking to secure valuable points in Group I as the qualification stage intensifies.
The two nations have crossed paths four times in the past, resulting in a balanced record. They have drawn twice in the COSAFA Cup, with each side claiming a victory in friendly matches.
However, as they meet again tonight, the stakes are higher with AFCON qualification on the line.
Mozambique enters the match in a strong position, sitting at the top of Group I with four points.
After an impressive start to their campaign, they will aim to build on their momentum and cement their place as group leaders. Eswatini, on the other hand, has yet to register a point and finds themselves at the bottom of the group.
A win tonight would not only reignite their qualifying hopes but also provide a crucial morale boost.
The advantage lies with Mozambique, given their current form and group standing. Yet, Eswatini is determined to fight for their first points in the qualification race, making this encounter a potentially fierce contest.
The outcome of this match will play a pivotal role in shaping the landscape of Group I as both teams vie for a coveted spot in the 2025 AFCON tournament.
