Kick-off is at 6pm CAT.

Mozambique are third in group G, level with second-placed Uganda on 15 points but behind on goal difference.

From its eight games, Mozambique has managed five wins and three losses while scoring 12 goals and conceding 15.

In September’s round of games, The Mambas fell to Uganda 4-0 before a redemptive 2-0 win over Botswana.

The Mambas could still secure qualification with two victories, as group leaders Algeria are on 19 points. They will hope for Algeria and Uganda to slip up and take advantage with their own victories. Otherwise, they may still secure a spot in the second round of qualification as one of the four best runners-up in group play.

Guinea are fourth in group G, having collected 11 points from their eight matches.

The National Elephants’ are already out of the race for a spot at the World Cup, as even if they win their two remaining games, they will still be behind group leaders Algeria’s current total.

Guinea bagged a 3-0 win over Somalia before holding Algeria to a 0-0 draw in September and will be looking to produce equally impressive performances in their upcoming games.

In their last meeting, Mozambique emerged as 1-0 victors in dramatic fashion, as Geny Catamo scored from the penalty spot in second-half stoppage time.
