Ivory Coast vs Mozambique: Preview

Ivory Coast have a reputation to uphold as they go into the 2025 edition of AFCON as reigning holders.

Their success in 2023 over Nigeria sparked wild scenes in their home country, with Sebastien Haller scoring an 81st-minute winner.

It was quite the fairytale story for the former Ajax man, who had returned to football 13 months earlier after overcoming testicular cancer.

Now with Utrecht, Haller is once again included for his nation, with Kessie Wilfried Zaha and Ibrahima Sangare other high-profile names who have made the cut.

Mozambique have never gone past the group stages, but are now into their second successive AFCON campaign, so positive sprouts are emerging.

Having finished second in Group I behind Mali in qualifying, Conde's side know they will be up against it from the first whistle, and may have to rely on Lady Luck.

Winger Geny Catamo plays for Portuguese side Sporting CP and is said to have attracted previous interest from Everton.

He could be one to watch at the tournament, and makes up a 25-man squad that also includes Sunderland defender Reinildo.

FourFourTwo's prediction

Ivory Coast 1-0 Mozambique

Ivory Coast did recently lose to South Africa in a friendly, so how they start the tournament could be crucial. We still expect them to emerge victorious in the one.
