Mozambique hopes to avenge their humiliation in Dakar when they play Senegal on Tuesday at the Estádio do Zimpeto in Maputo in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
On Friday, the Lions of Teranga defeated the Mambas 5-1. Before the break, Youssouf Sabaly, Sadio Mane, Iliman Ndiaye, and Boulaye Dia gave the hosts a 4-0 lead.
Three minutes after the game’s start, Gildo Vilanculos scored for the visitors, but Habib Diallo added a fifth in extra time.
Senegal leads Group L with nine points from three games and could secure qualification with a win, while Mozambique is second with four points.
Even though the latter is still two points ahead of Rwanda, which is in third place, a loss this week could hurt their chances of qualifying.
After such a convincing victory, Senegal, the current champions of Africa, are unlikely to make any changes to their starting lineup. However, that is not the case for Mozambique, where head coach Chiquinho Conde may make adjustments.
Goalkeeper Víctor Guambe could come instead of Gion Chande, who got through a horrendous worldwide introduction on Friday. Edmilson Dove may be moved to defense, and Shaquille and Martinho are vying for midfield positions.
