Nigeria – Mozambique: Super Eagles target quarter-finals 
Nigeria face Mozambique on Monday at the Fès Sports Complex for a spot in the quarter-finals of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
Nigeria: heavy favourites 
Nigeria dominated the group stage. Three games, three wins, qualification wrapped up without fuss.
The attack’s been prolific, eight goals in total. Squad depth lets the coach rotate without dropping quality.
Even though the defence hasn’t kept a clean sheet yet, the unit is solid. With starters back, Nigeria go into this one full of confidence.
Mozambique: a tall order 
Mozambique are new to AFCON’s knockout phase. They got through thanks to a group-stage win.
The run’s encouraging, but the gap in quality is obvious against Nigeria. The Mambas will have to defend deep and be clinical when chances come.
Any shock requires discipline, especially against a Nigerian attack in form.
Probable line-ups
Nigeria :
Nwabili ; Onyemaechi, Ajayi, Bassey, Osayi-Samuel ; Ndidi, Iwobi, Chukwueze ; Adams, Lookman ; Osimhen
Mozambique :
Urrubal ; Nanani, Dove, Chamboco, Mexer ; Kambala, Bonde ; Dominguez, Catamo, Gildo ; Ratifo
Key points
- Nigeria won all their group games.
- Nigerian attack: very effective.
- Mozambique are new to the knockout rounds.
- Big gap on paper.
Football Prediction Nigeria vs Mozambique

First, a word on our tips
- What we publish on Mathodds are analyses, nothing more. We offer an opinion, a snapshot, never a guarantee. Sport is what it is: unpredictable. A red card, an injury, a freak goal… and the whole script flips.
- Let’s be clear: there’s no such thing as a risk-free bet. Even when it looks “obvious”, it rarely is. Yes, you can lose. It’s inevitable at some point.
- Best practice: be sensible. Stake small, set a budget and stick to it. Don’t touch money you need to live on. And don’t chase losses — it never ends well.
- Betting should stay a game, not a job or a source of income. If it starts taking over, annoying you or stressing you out, stop. Talk to a specialist organisation if needed — that’s what they’re for.
- Ultimately, responsibility’s yours. Reading our content means accepting that risk exists and won’t disappear, even with the best analysis in the world.
- Essential reminder: betting is illegal for minors and must comply with your country’s laws. Gambling can spiral (money losses, family tension, addiction). Need Help? Call 1-800-GAMBLER. In the UK? Visit https://www.gambleaware.org/https://www.gambleaware.org/.
No commitment from us
Our tips aren’t a contract. They carry no legal weight. In short: you can’t rely on them to claim anything if a bet loses.
Info can change
A prediction is based on what we know when we write it. Between then and kick-off, a lineup can change, a player can get injured, the weather can turn… and the analysis can become outdated. We can’t be held liable for that.
Your role
Before betting, check that it’s legal where you live. If it’s not, that’s on you, not us.
Responsible gambling first
Won’t repeat it enough: gamble in moderation. If you struggle to control it, don’t wait to seek help. We can’t be responsible for compulsive or excessive use of the site’s info.
