Mozambique can reach seven points by beating Ethiopia on Friday 13 November in Maputo, after collecting four points from its first two matches. The Mambas would thus join Senegal, which already has seven points after its 4-1 win over Sudan, according to Bénin Web TV.

Mozambique have scored five goals and conceded two after two rounds of the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, compared with six goals scored and two conceded by Senegal after three matches, according to Bénin Web TV. The Mambas drew 1-1 with Senegal in Maputo before beating Sudan 4-1.

Mozambique host Ethiopia on Friday 13 November at Zimpeto Stadium in Maputo, with kick-off at 13:00 GMT, according to Bénin Web TV. Ethiopia remain without a goal in Group J after two 1-0 defeats to Sudan and Senegal.

The two teams will meet again on Tuesday 17 November in Ethiopia for the fourth round, before the final two matches for each team scheduled for March 2027, according to Bénin Web TV.
