Gabon vs Mozambique live score, H2H and lineups

[(Gabon) Strength]:
1. In Group F, the strength comparison is relatively clear. It is difficult for Gabon to secure a top-two spot for direct qualification, so their primary goal is to compete for the best third-place finish in the group. Mozambique is their direct competitor.
2. Gabon have the veteran star Aubameyang. At 36 years old this season, Aubameyang has demonstrated excellent competitive form, contributing 5 goals and 5 assists for Olympique de Marseille, making him the soul of Gabon.
3. Apart from Aubameyang, Gabon have no other players from the top 5 European leagues. However, they do have several overseas players competing in leagues such as the Belgian Pro League and the Turkish Super Lig. The quality of the players is decent.
4. In their last 10 matches, Gabon have achieved 6 wins, 2 draws, and 2 losses, remaining unbeaten in 3 of their last 4 matches.
5. In their last Africa Cup of Nations match, Gabon lost 1-0 to Cameroon but demonstrated strong competitiveness. Their offensive statistics were on par with Cameroon, and they even dominated the game.

[(Gabon) Neutral]:
1. In the group stage of the World Cup qualification (CAF), Gabon finished second in their group and advanced to the play-offs. However, they lost to the stronger Nigeria in the play-offs and failed to qualify for the World Cup.
2. Gabon are currently ranked 78th in the world, with their highest ranking reaching 30th.

[(Mozambique) Strength]:
1. The top two positions in this group are largely secured by Cote d'Ivoire and Cameroon. Mozambique's primary goal is to compete for third place in the group, and their match against Gabon will likely directly determine the outcome of the third-place position.
2. Wearing the No. 10 jersey of Sporting CP, Geny Catamo is undoubtedly the most eye-catching player in Mozambique. This season, he has contributed 2 goals and 1 assist for Sporting CP.
3. The only player in the team competing in a top-five European league is Reinildo Isnard Mandava, who currently plays for Sunderland in the Premier League. This season, he has started 12 times for Sunderland. While he often plays as a left-back at the club level, his position in the national team tends to be more central.

[(Mozambique) Neutral]:
1. Mozambique were eliminated in the group stage of the World Cup qualifiers, finishing third in their group and failing to qualify for next year's World Cup.
2. Mozambique are currently ranked 102nd in the world, with their highest ranking reaching 66th.
3. The two teams have faced each other twice in 2015, with each team winning one match 1-0, resulting in an even head-to-head record.
4. Although Gabon is the home team, this Africa Cup of Nations is being held in Morocco, making it an away match for both teams.

[(Mozambique) Weakness]:
1. In their 14 matches this year, Mozambique have achieved 4 wins, 2 draws, and 8 losses. They have failed to win any of their last 4 matches, indicating poor form.

[Tips]:
This match is a crucial battle for both teams competing for third place in the group, and it is of great importance to both sides.

Although the highest player value of Mozambique far exceeds that of Gabon, their overall strength is relatively average, and the coordination among players is not particularly harmonious.

In contrast, Gabon's overall strength holds a greater advantage.

The experienced veteran stars in the team can stabilize the team's rhythm, and the team's recent form has been more impressive.

Therefore, the home team are more favored to win this match.

Gabon (-0.5)
